Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. An individual
				who serves as an administrator and/or supervisor in Louisiana schools is
				required to obtain the appropriate credential for the area of assignment. A
				teacher already certified in Louisiana may have an educational leader
				certificate issued to provide administrative or supervisory services in a
				Louisiana school system.
B. This
				Chapter is divided into three parts, as follows:
1. educational leadership certification
				structure;
2. administrative and
				supervisory endorsements that were superseded by the educational leadership
				certification structure; and
3. all
				other supervisory endorsements.
Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 28 - EDUCATION › Part CXXXI - Bulletin 74-Louisiana Standards for State Certification of School Personnel › Chapter 15 - Administrative and Supervisory Credentials › Subchapter A - The Educational Leadership Certificate › Section CXXXI-1503 - Introduction

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. The educational
				  leadership certification structure provides for four levels of leader
				  certification: teacher leader; educational leader level 1; educational leader
				  level 2; and educational leader level 3. The teacher leader certificate is an
				  option for a teacher to be identified as a teacher leader and is not a state
				  required credential for a specific administrative position. The educational
				  leader level 1 certificate is an entry-level certificate for individuals
				  seeking to qualify for school and/or district leadership positions such as
				  assistant principals, principals, parish or city supervisors of instruction,
				  supervisors of child welfare and attendance, special education supervisors, or
				  comparable school/district leader positions. An individual advances from a
				  level 1 to a level 2 certificate after successfully meeting standards of
				  effectiveness for three years pursuant to Bulletin 130 and
				  R.S.
				  17:3902, and completing the required years of
				  experience. The level 3 certificate qualifies an individual for employment as a
				  district assistant superintendent or superintendent. The LDOE will issue a
				  letter of eligibility for an EDL certificate to requesting educators not
				  currently serving in an educational leadership role.
B. Educational leadership preparation
				  programs and induction programs must be aligned with state and national
				  standards in accordance with LAC 28:CXXXVII.301 in Bulletin 125.
C. Medical Excuse and Exceptions. Exceptions
				  to policy will be considered in the case of serious medical condition or
				  unavailability of required coursework or exams, when not in violation of law.
				  When serious medical problems of the teacher or immediate family exist, a
				  doctor statement is required with a letter of assurance from the teacher that
				  the unmet policy requirements will be completed within a specified time period,
				  as determined by the LDOE. The final authority for approval and policy
				  flexibility is at the discretion of the LDOE.
