Capstone Experience
Performance Assessment for School Leaders (PASL) Tasks and Completing Degree Requirements
The Performance Assessment for School Leaders (PASL) is an evidence-based performance assessment designed to assess instructional leadership during a candidate’s clinical experience prior to receiving a license. This assessment evaluates school leadership candidates on their ability to impact instruction and student learning. The PASL consists of three tasks. Each of the three tasks will take place during the school leadership candidate’s clinical experience and will focus on the principal as instructional leader. The school leadership candidate’s internship will provide a variety of artifacts, including plans, student work, and feedback, that will be submitted as part of the tasks. The school leadership candidate will be able to work on the tasks as he or she experiences the internship and will submit all three tasks simultaneously. The PASL tasks will be allowed to be submitted through the Texas Education window once all other degree and course requirements have been met, including passing the state exam and receiving credit for the Principal Internship courses.
EDAD 5337 - Application of Administrative Concepts is offered each spring Session 1 and must be taken prior to EDAD 5348 and EDAD 5349 . These are the Principal Internship courses offered in both sessions of the fall and spring. The TExES Principal practice exam is given as the final in EDAD 5337 .
