FCSS's Purpose for educational leaders and administrators through the CASC program is to promote the success of students' learning experiences. We are dedicated to the development of high quality leaders who provide rigorous educational programs.

The FCSS CASC Program delivers an interconnected and comprehensive curriculum, which integrates face-to-face professional development sessions, field experiences, and cohort professional learning communities. The FCSS CASC Program integrates a blended learning model through a variety of methods. The curriculum is based on the California Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (CPSEL) and is designed for candidates to demonstrate the ability to meet or exceed each of the standards.

FCSS’s CASC Program is job-embedded, site-based, individualized coaching program and is an approved pathway by CCTC. This is a two year program that includes one-on-one coaching with a skilled administrator, an Individualized Learning Plan (ILP), professional and personalized learning opportunities, and a culminating portfolio representing two years of leadership development based upon the California Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (CPSEL).
