Collaborative Principal Preparation Program (CPPP)
UCM's Collaborative Principal Preparation Program Develops Driven, Successful School District Leaders.
Engaging, Mentor- and Cohort-Inspired Coursework
From the beginning of CPPP, students work and learn together in a cohort environment. The cohort experience provides students with shared learning experiences and opportunities to broaden their educational and support networks.
The CPPP is a cooperative venture involving 14 local school districts and the University of Central Missouri. Classes are taught at the UCM Summit Center in Lee's Summit, Mo.
Students are provided a mentor for the two year program. Several program courses require students to interview and work directly with their mentor on school district projects, creating a multi-faceted learning experience. Coursework also focuses on data analysis, interpretation and implementation to improve district-wide student achievement.
Program Success
A total of 70 program graduates and current program students have been successful in obtaining leadership positions.
"The commitment level of the CPPP graduate students is exceptional.They are the future of leadership and will leave enduring legacies."
Dr. Barbara Martin, CPPP faculty member
