5. Justification (must cite accreditation and/or assessment by the graduate faculty) for new
course or course revision or course renumbering:
The NC Department of Public Instruction has called for the revisioning of Master of
School Administration (MSA) programs to align with new state standards for the
preparation of school leaders. UNC GA has instituted a parallel process for the
reauthorization of MSA programs. The internship allows the student to “put into
practice” the knowledge and skills acquired during their MSA coursework. The students
daily in school administrative assignments provide the opportunity to demonstrate
“proficiency” in each of the signature assignments and/or ELCC assessments. The
Graduate faculty of the Department of Educational Leadership met and decided that
artifacts developed ensure the students can demonstrate “proficiency” in all required
areas of the new North Carolina School Executive Standards: Pre-service Candidates
Standards 2, 4, 5 & 7
