Leadership Residency Program Mentoring Agreement
The Leadership Residency Program offers candidates a unique opportunity to complete the
Superintendent’s Letter of Eligibility in a field-based environment. In partial fulfillment of the program
requirements, candidates complete six residencies (similar to practicum) while working as part of a
cohort. For each residency students are expected to complete a project and work on administrative and
leadership activities deemed appropriate in their home district while logging at least 60 hours related to
their work. The required residencies are as follows:
Strategic Leadership in District Governance and Community Relations
Negotiations and Personnel Strategic Decision Making
Ethical and Legal Decision-making at the District Level
The Impact of Facilities and Plant Management Decisions on School Effectiveness
Optimizing Financial Resources to Support District Level Achievement
Instructional and Technology Leadership at the Executive Level
Minimum Total Residency/Practicum Hours
Residency Support
For each residency the candidate is assigned a university supervisor, a leadership fellow (a field-based
practitioner with expertise in the assigned residency), and a district-based mentor (typically the
superintendent).
The district-based mentor agrees to:
• Provide the candidate with opportunities to complete residency activities in his/her home district
• Ensure that the candidate’s experiences support district goals
• Assist the candidate in demonstration of performance tasks
• Encourage reflection and self-assessment, providing feedback as appropriate to the candidate
• Consult with the candidate’s university supervisor on his/her progress in the program
