Clear Administrative Services Credential (CASC) Application

The CASC program delivers a cohesive and comprehensive curriculum that integrates coaching and professional development over a course of two years. Professional development, delivered in a seminar format, is based on the California Professional Standards for Education Leaders (CPSEL) and designed to develop proficiency in these standards. Each participant is assigned a coach, and coaches meet with participants monthly, guiding them through the development of the standards with ongoing self-assessment and reflection. Participants develop an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) with specific goals and objectives that align with their job-embedded fieldwork.
