EDUCATIONAL LEADER CERTIFICATION APPLICATION PACKET
Dear Applicant:
With the completion of the Educational Leader Packet you can request certification for Educational Leader Level 1, Educational Leader
Level 2, and Educational Leader Level 3, or the Ancillary Special Education Educational Leader. A letter of eligibility for Educational
Leader certification will be issued to individuals who meet requirements, but who are not yet hired in a leadership position. The appropriate
leadership certificate will be issued upon employment in a leadership capacity per the request of the employing Louisiana Employing
Authority (the employer would submit a letter indicating your employment including a professional conduct form). Louisiana Employing
Authorities have been informed that a letter of eligibility issued by the LA Dept. of Education is sufficient to identify you as being eligible
for employment and the certificate will be issued upon their request. If employed in a leadership role at the time of application, the
employer will verify date-of-hire and role within the application and the certificate will be issued without a letter of eligibility being
necessary.
Eligibility for EDL1 can be obtained by fulfilling ONE of the following routes:
• Master's Degree Path -for certified teachers who have earned an advanced degree in the area of Educational Leadership

educational leadership plan-of-study from an institution of higher education accredited in accordance with 34 CFR 602
• Alternate Path 2 -for certified teachers who hold a master's degree in education and document evidence of 240 clock hours of
educational leadership experiences (refer to the included Alt Pathway 2 pages for instructions on documenting the experiences)
• Alternate Path 3 -for certified teachers who hold a baccalaureate degree from an institution of higher education accredited in
accordance with 34 CFR 602 and have successfully completed a Louisiana competency-based educational leader practitioner

All pathways to the Educational Leader 1 license require the successful completion of either the Praxis School Leaders Licensure

EDL1 eligibility does not expire. The EDL1 certificate is valid for three years initially, after being issued at the request of the LA
employer, and may be extended thereafter for a period of one year at the request of the LA employer. EDL 1 certificates are limited to
two such extensions in the event the leader cannot advance to the EDL2.
Eligibility for EDL2 requires all of the following:
• Valid EDL1 certificate, a Louisiana teaching certificate with provisional principal certification, or comparable level out-of-state
educational leader certificate;
• Three years of teaching experience in the area(s) of certification;
• Three years of educational leadership experience at the level of assistant principal or above; and

Out-of-State Experience Verification Attestation form)
EDL2 eligibility does not expire. The EDL2 certificate is valid for five years and is renewable by successfully meeting the standards of
effectiveness for at least three years during the five-year initial or renewal period of the EDL2. Effectiveness is verified via Compass
evaluations entered into the Compass Information System, if serving in school-level role; or with local evaluations, as documented on
the Educational Leader Local Evaluation Attestation form (included in this application packet) when serving as a district-level leader, not
evaluated via Compass.
