benefited them by providing real-world scenarios, hands-on learning, authentic
professional practice, active school improvement projects, dynamic professional
development, professional networking, and personal reflection.
Pete Galloway, Graves County superintendent, and Kim Harrison, Graves County
assistant superintendent, reported on the redesign experience from the district
perspective. They said that this program gave candidates a real feel for the duties of an
instructional leader and provided the district with a pool of highly qualified principal
candidates.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In keeping with Asbury College’s mission and its historic institutional commitment, the graduate program
in education is designed to prepare educators for leadership and service in a variety of settings, seeking to
meet all students’ needs. As we continue to evaluate Asbury’s future in the light of past accomplishments,
we find direction in the institution’s mission statement, “. . . through a commitment to academic excellence
and spiritual vitality, for a lifetime of learning, leadership and service to the professions . . .” In response to
this vision we see the graduate program in educational leadership as extending our academic scholarship
and fulfilling our pledge to service within a Christian context.
Rationale for Program: The Principal Preparation Program, responding to a widespread need for highly
qualified leaders, will prepare caring, competent and highly skilled professional educators who will provide
leadership for today’s schools across Kentucky, nationwide, and around the world. Asbury College’s
current success with preparing quality educators in collaboration with our public school partners sets the
stage for a distinctive leadership program. Cooperative efforts with our public partners ensure an authentic
program of excellence.
Program Description: The graduate education program in Principal Preparation qualifies selected
teachers to complete requirements for Rank I in Education in developing skills to serve as leaders for 21st
century schools striving for excellence. Partnerships with P-12 educators who will assist in program design
and delivery provide a high level of authenticity to the program and clinical experiences built into each
course enable candidates to positively impact the learning of all P-12 students. All classroom and field
experiences in this program are guided by the graduate education unit’s theme of preparing Facilitators of
Student Success and Professional Community and aligned to the Kentucky’s Leadership Standards and
Dispositions.
Continuous Assessment: The Graduate Education Program Continuous Assessment Model for
principal preparation, Levels I and II has a checkpoint gating system that serves as the mechanism for
evaluating candidates’ competence levels compared to the prescribed Kentucky Educational Leadership
Standards.1 All courses, portfolio products, and performance tasks are linked to standards identifying what
effective experienced professionals in leadership should know and be able to do at the conclusion of their
advanced training. Admission into the program constitutes the first checkpoint, Gate 7. A selection
committee made up of district and college faculty select candidates based on clearly defined criteria and
recommend admission into the program. Upon completion of Level I preparation requirements candidates
submit a portfolio documenting performance on anchor assessments and present their Capstone project at
Gate 8. Upon completion of the Level II preparation program, candidates complete Gate 9 assessment with
the presentation of a portfolio containing evidence of attainment, understanding and application of
leadership standards. As they progress through the program, they reflect on and provide evidence
addressing their dispositional growth at each Gate assessment. As principal candidates complete the
preparation program and assume leadership responsibilities in a school, a final assessment checkpoint takes
place at Gate 10 as Asbury collects data on gains in student achievement at respective schools. This data
will provide feedback on the principal preparation program as well as identification of principals’
professional development needs.
ESPB Themes: As professional educators, candidates for the Principal Preparation program will address in their graduate
course experiences all KERA goals and initiatives (academic expectations, Program of Studies, core
content) related to the content knowledge needed to service P-12 learners. As changes occur to common
core state standards as a result of Senate Bill l, these changes will be incorporated throughout the Principal
Preparation Program. Embedded throughout the curriculum is advanced preparation in the themes
identified by EPSB.

Action Item:
Campbellsville University – Environmental Education P-12 Endorsement (Undergraduate
and Graduate Levels)
Applicable Statutes and Regulation:
KRS 161.028; KRS 161.030
16 KAR 5:010
Applicable Goal:
Goal 1: Every approved educator preparation program meets or exceeds all accreditation
standards and prepares knowledgeable, capable teachers and administrators who
demonstrate effectiveness in helping all students reach educational achievement.
Issue:
Should the EPSB approve the following educator preparation program additions?
I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Western Kentucky University (WKU) has developed a Teacher Leader Master’s and Planned Fifth-Year Program in accordance with the 2008 guidelines set out by the Kentucky Education Professional Standards Board (EPSB) leading to Kentucky certification rank change. Through this program, WKU is striving to close the gap between teacher preparation and teaching practice that directly impacts student learning. The WKU Teacher Leader framework has been developed collaboratively with administrators and teachers from the Green River Regional Education Cooperative (GRREC) and Region 2 service area and the faculty of Potter College of Arts and Letters, Ogden College of Science and Engineering, and the of College of Education and Behavioral Sciences. Multiple meetings and focus groups were held at WKU with teachers, district- and school-based administrators, and WKU faculty from the various colleges associated with educator preparation. Additionally, the dean of the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences, along with one or two university faculty, met with regional school superintendents and instructional supervisors to solicit support in a university-district partnership. Partnership Memorandums of Agreement were signed with each regional school district and the dean of WKU’s College of Education and Behavioral Sciences. The Teacher Leader program is designed to measure candidates’ levels of proficiency on Kentucky Teacher Standards at program entrance and to take them from initial to advanced levels of teacher proficiency. The program is divided into two instructional levels. Level 1 provides pedagogy, leadership, and content applicable to all P-12 teachers working in the wide gamut of developmental levels and content areas. The approach is an integrated core of concomitant skills focused on designing and implementing instruction that prepares the candidate to impact student learning through classroom research and leadership. Level 2 directs the candidate into an individual program in content, pedagogy, and/or areas of professional growth concurrent with the goals of each candidate. An Action Research Project for Teacher Leaders focusing on a classroom, school, or district issue is the capstone for the completion of the program. The program follows a three-point protocol assessing candidates as they transition from one level to the next that is administered at strategic times to guide their professional growth. Critical Performance assessments of candidates’ ability to meet Kentucky Teacher Standards are administered throughout the coursework, uploaded by candidates to the WKU Electronic Portfolio System, and scored by the faculty. A monitoring system, Response to Intervention will be employed to assure that candidates not reaching full potential in coursework and assessment protocols are provided services in a timely manner.
