About the MSAA Leadership Licensure Program (LLP)
The MSAA Leadership Licensure Program (LLP) offers robust instruction and curriculum development, preparing aspiring administrators for Massachusetts provisional or initial licensure as Principals/Assistant Principals (PreK-8; 5-12) or Special Education Administrators, and Supervisors/Directors.
This comprehensive program is grounded in effective teaching, learning, and best practices in instructional and organizational leadership. It focuses on the Administrative Leader Guidelines, Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks, and Culturally and Linguistically Sustaining Practices, ensuring candidates are ready to lead in public schools.
Candidates achieve initial licensure by successfully completing the Performance Assessment for Leaders (PAL) Tasks, which are woven into a practical performance assessment within each module. The LLP's unique integrated and collaborative approach helps candidates develop the essential knowledge and skills to meet the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's Professional Standards and Indicators for Administrators.
