Educational Administration and Policy
Plan A: The Performance-Based Program
Once a partnership agreement is forged between the UGA Program in Educational Administration and Policy and the school system district-level administrator has written a letter expressing support for participation in the Performance-based Program (Plan A), students choose to follow either the building-level track or the district-level track and sustain the appropriate “Supervised Educational Leadership Residency” at the Building or District Level. Students will need to self-select the level of residency (Building, District, or both).
