PROGRAM GOAL:
The New Century Educational Leadership Program (NCELP) is an alternative Principal certification program. Its purpose is to prepare highly qualified individuals to serve as public school administrators in Texas. NCELP is not designed to replace or detract from the traditional certification program at Tarleton State University or any other university. NCELP is a collaborative administrator program between Tarleton and public school districts in Texas.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
The program is primarily field-based and performance oriented. It is designed to deliver instruction to meet the individual learning needs of the participants. At the conclusion of 18 months, the student will have received 39 hours of university credit, a Master's Degree in Educational Administration and a Principal certificate that enables the intern to accept administrative positions in Texas public schools. To accomplish this, the NCELP provides up-to-date conceptual, technical, and human relations skills training necessary for principals to be effective instructional leaders in current and future educational environments.
NCELP relies upon current research and technology to offer a dramatically different training design and delivery system in developing prospective administrators. The NCELP proficiencies, which provide the basis for integrated curriculum, are developed from the National Policy Board for Educational Administration's (NPBEA) 21 proficiency domains and the State Board for Educator Certification principal standards. The leadership proficiencies are integrated throughout the program, serving as a comprehensive framework for the NCELP curriculum.
At the successful conclusion of the program, participants will receive a Master's Degree in Education Administration and recommendation for a principal certification
