Alternative Preparation for Educational Leadership (APEL)
What is APEL?
APEL is a two tiered, alternative preparation post-baccalaureate program designed for individuals who have not prepared as leaders in a traditional leadership preparation program. Candidates' earlier academic preparation and life experiences are recognized as they work within their schools and districts to meet requirements for Georgia Leadership certification, but not a degree.
Tier 1 prepares candidates for entry-level leadership positions that include school level positions below the principal and system level positions that do not supervise principals. Upon entry into the program, Tier I candidates are issued a three (3) year non-renewable leadership certificate that may be converted to a professional leadership certificate when requirements are met.
Tier II prepares candidates for advanced leadership positions that include school level principals or the equivalent, school system superintendents, or other district staff. Upon successful completion of all program requirements, candidates will be qualified for a professional Performance-Based Tier II certificate.
Who are the most likely candidates for this program?
Likely candidates are employees within your schools or district holding a Master's Degree or higher who possess natural leadership abilities but lack leadership certification. Candidates may already be in a leadership position or district leaders may desire to place them in a leadership role; however, districts must assure that selected candidates are available one-half day or more each day to work in a leadership position.
While some of these individuals may elect to go the traditional graduate school route to gain leadership certification and an advanced degree, some within your district already have that degree and just need certification. Others may desire to go into leadership roles but don't have the time or money required to attend graduate school. Still there are individuals who simply like the idea of learning by doing and being coached on the job while completing skills and competencies that are most critical to their school and district.
How long is the program?
Each Tier requires a twelve (12) month minimum residency period. Candidates can have up to three years to complete Tier I while they hold non-renewable certificates. An additional three years may be used to complete Tier II, although candidates must hold renewable performance-based leadership certification while completing this Tier.
What is the cost?
The cost for each 12-month Tier is $6,000 for candidates employed by Middle Georgia RESA districts and $6,500 for candidates employed in other RESA districts. Additionally, a $350 travel expense surcharge will be added for those out of the MGRESA service area. These charges include all training (TKES/LKES) and materials as well as expenses incurred by MGRESA Coaches for travel to districts.
APEL payments can be made via payroll deduction through your system of employment or candidates may pay in full. Candidates requiring extended program time for completion will be charged on a sliding scale.
How do candidates become part of this program?
