The UCAPP program is transforming a high - quality, traditional university - based program into an innovative program that increasingly
integrates graduate coursework and field experiences and prepares principals who can use data and evidence of classroom practice to organize change.
For example, at Chicago's Academy for Urban School Leadership, two interns are assigned to team - teach with a master teacher, and
graduate - level teacher - education
coursework is
integrated with their daily teaching so they can immediately apply their new knowledge and skills.
