<p>WILKES-BARRE &#8212; It seems safe to assume the first lesson is <em>not</em> that a principal has principles. Anyone taking advantage of the new King&#8217;s College Principal Certification program surely has mastered the differences between the two homonyms.</p><p>The College&#8217;s Graduate Education program will begin offering the courses in January. The 18-credit program begins with two eight-week online courses during the spring semester. All told, there are five three-credit online courses, each with 20 hours of field experience, followed by three one-credit practicum courses totaling 260 hours of supervised experiences over 12 months. The training is for elementary, middle and high school.</p><p>All course work is expected to be completed in two years, with the candidates taking the state school Leadership Licensure Assessment for Principal Certification. The program is open to those with a minimum of three years teaching experience.</p><p>In a media release, King&#8217;s education department Chair Denise Reboli said the instructors &#8220;do not offer &#8216;canned&#8217; online courses. The courses have been developed in collaboration with our practicing school-based instructors connecting the Pennsylvania Department of Education competency expectations and how they translate to the day-to-day operations of schools.&#8221;</p><p>The first course, titled &#8220;The Principalship&#8221; starts Jan. 11 with David Tosh teaching. Tosh is currently director of curriculum, instructional and pupil services at Wyoming Valley West School District.</p><p>To register or for more information, contact Christine Stevens, director of graduate admission, at 570-208-5991 or christinestevens@kings.edu, or visit <a href="http://www.kings.edu/GradEducation" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">www.kings.edu/GradEducation</a>.</p><style>
