Upon successful completion of this program, you will be well equipped with the knowledge you need to help transform education in our nation’s schools and propel your career forward as an effective leader. All assessments (including the POLE 360° Assessment administered by the Center for Educational Effectiveness) are designed to help you evaluate your own leadership competencies and are completed on a pre- and post-basis.
