Superintendent Letter of Eligibility Certificate

Our fully online Superintendent Letter of the Eligibility certificate program is for professional educators with at least six years of relevant professional experience in an educational setting related to the instructional process.

We designed this program for individuals who already hold a graduate degree in an education-related field and wish to enter into a leadership position as a superintendent or assistant superintendent in a K-12 district.

Upon completion of this program, you are eligible for certification as an assistant superintendent or superintendent in the state of Pennsylvania. You will also need to pass the School Superintendent Assessment/SSA (6991) as required by the PA Department of Education.

Our 18-credit, fully online program expands upon the Total Leader 2.0 Leadership Model developed by Charles Schwan and William Spady.

Courses in our superintendent letter of eligibility certification program include:

Art and Science of Authenticity

Art and Science of Visionary Leadership

Art and Science of Cultural/Relational Leadership

Art and Science of Systems and Service Leadership

Art and Science of Communication in Leadership

Successful completion of the School Superintendent Assessment/SSA (6021) is required for certification.

To receive certification at the end of the program, candidates must verify the completion of a minimum of six years of professional experience in an instructional area (at least three of the six years should be at the administrative level). The candidate also must be recommended for certification by the Point Park University authorized certification officer.
