Additional Information:

As a school district’s chief executive officer, you will serve a wide variety of roles from representing your district in public to working with district principals and the school board to foster student success.

To help equip you for the diverse responsibilities superintendents face, the UW School District Superintendent Certificate program combines a robust curriculum of educational leadership courses with an internship in two districts, so you acquire the executive background and operational skills you’ll need to serve in rural or urban school districts.

The program also meets the requirements of the Wyoming Professional Teaching Standards Board for the district superintendent endorsement as well as the superintendency standards of the national Educational Leadership Constituents Council.
