Each semester, students take two core content courses (3 credits each) and one internship course (2 credits). The courses align with National Educational Leadership Preparation (NELP) standards, embed key Ohio educational initiatives, and include an internship that prepares candidates for district leadership. Courses and internships focus on district vision and improvement, operations and management, policy and governance, and community and public relations. A new cohort begins each fall semester.
