Dear Prospective Candidate:
The Sixth Year Certificate program is designed to prepare certified teachers
for informed leadership positions in education through a course of study, which
will enable them to shape organizational direction; effect institutional
planning and development; and influence organizational performance. Program
graduates will be eligible for such positions on the staff of central offices,
regional educational agencies, and state education agencies. Notable features of
the new program include rigorous entry standards, a strong curriculum presented
by resident faculty and practitioner colleagues, a qualifying examination for
certification, and required field experiences.
In addition to meeting the general requirements for admission to the School
of Graduate Studies, admission decisions will be based on the following:
1. A master's degree from a regionally accredited institution of higher
education
2. A minimum of three years teaching experience and a Connecticut Teaching
Certificate (or eligibility).
3. Two letters from school administrators supporting the application and
concentrating on such areas as applicant strengths and weaknesses, interpersonal
skills, intellectual ability and leadership potential.
4. A formal, typed application essay.
5. Completion of EDL 590, "Leaders as Learners," and successful
portfolio presentation to search committee.
A 3.0 minimum Graduate GPA and a 2.7 undergraduate GPA are required.
Students' with a 3.3 or higher post-baccalaureate GPA (on a four-point scale)
will receive first priority for admission into the program.
Admissions standards for this program are quite rigorous and not everyone who
meets the admissions requirements can be accepted. Only students admitted to
this program will be eligible to apply for institutional recommendation for the
Intermediate Administrator or Supervisor Certificate.
All applicants and supporting materials for admission to the program must be
received at the Department of Educational Leadership by April 1st for the Summer
