Assembly Bill 430/ Principal Training

Description
The legislative intent of AB 430 is to train principals and vice-principals in:

1)  school financial and personnel management
2)  core academic standards
3)  curriculum frameworks and instructional materials aligned to state standards
4)  use of pupil assessment instruments, assessment data, and school management technology
5)  use of instructional technology to improve student performance
6)  extension of knowledge, skills and abilities gained in administrative preparation

These areas were arranged into three modules by the California Department of Education:

1)  Module 1: Instructional Leadership and Support of Student Instructional Program
2)  Module 2: Leadership and Management for Instructional Improvement
3)  Module 3: Instructional Technology

 

The training design consists of an 80 hour core with an 80 hour practicum.

AB 430 has been approved by the California Commission of Teacher Credentialing as meeting the requirements of the Tier 2 Administrative credential.
