The Preassessment
The preassessment is not only required for the licensure program at the University of Minnesota but it is also
a requirement in Minnesota rule for the licensing of educational administrators. It is therefore a very
important beginning step in the learners preparation process.
The contents of the preassessment will be used as the foundation other important steps in your preparation.
Some of them are:
The creation of your resume and, more importantly, you vita. These are requirements in EdPA 5386
Portfolio Seminar and, of course, will be essential tools when you begin to apply for a position after
you are licensed.
The components of the preassessment will be used as organizers and summary pages for your
electronic portfolio. When used for that step the title is change to Summary of Evidence by
Competency and the Plan of Action title is then omitted. By the time you present your e-folio all
items in the Plan will have been moved up to another category.
Building confidence in your abilities. Most find the individual product of the preassessment to be
tremendously reaffirming and motivating as the learner steps back, usually for the first time, and takes
a comprehensive assessment of the personal and professional substance he or she had developed thus
far in his or her life and career. Take time to savor that realization.
Sources:
There are multiple sources to gather this information. Some include:
Transcripts
Syllabi
Your current and past planning calendars (these are good items to keep from year to year as they form
a sort of personal/professional diary).
CEU documentation. If you do not have copies then your district office may.
If you are not a saver perhaps a team member keeps some of these documents and will allow you
access to help you remember specific items.

Your school and district calendars.
Records from your school and district professional development teams.
Tax records (you may have a record of your professional expenses).
Template: The following template is designed to assist you in this process. You may cut and past the
template as you complete your work.
Steps:
1. Print legibly or type your name, semester and year in the boxes provided.
2. Create a footer that includes your name and page numbers.
3. Create a master list of all the courses you have taken that have addressed any of the required
competencies in any way. You may go as far back as your bachelors degree if you desire.
4. List all of the workshops/conferences that you have attended that do not show up on an official
transcript.
5. List either specific titles or bodies of literature that you have studied. They could have been assigned
readings from coursework or literature that you have chosen to read due to personal interest. Listing
the title of bodies of literature is appropriate when you have done an extensive study in a particular
topic such as for a doctoral dissertation. If your topic was data driven decision making you may
simply note that you did doctoral research on that topic. In cases like this it is understood that you
have read perhaps a hundred sources on that topic. Other times a particular title could have been so
important to your development and interests that you list it separately.
6. List all the experiences that you have had that have increased your understanding of administration or
allowed you to directly practice administrative skills. Be specific enough so that the reader can
determine the depth of your skills. For example, if you have served as a member of the Leadership
Team it is not enough to simply state that membership because each school/district may use its
leadership team in different ways with various degrees of authority. If your role was advisory to the
development of the budget state that. However, if your team has the authority to make final decisions
on the budget then that role carries with it a vastly different level of responsibility and authority and
should be identified as such.
Plan of Action
1. Course selection
Use the attached matrix to map your educational program at the University of Minnesota. A
minimum of 60 credits beyond the bachelors degree, including a masters degree, are required for the
School Superintendent, K-12 Principal, and Director of Special Education licenses. A minimum of 20
credits are required for the Director of Community Education license. A Certificate in PK-12
Administration with licensure requires a minimum of 21-22 credits. Depending on the number of
credits and whether or not a masters degree has already been completed upon acceptance into the
program, the learner can earn many certificates, licenses and degrees simultaneously. See the
example on the matrix to identify which courses are required for specific options. Note that many of
the courses can be used for more than one option.
3. Literature
List the readings that you plan to complete outside of required readings for each course:
4. Field Experiences

What will you seek to learn from your mentor when completing this project? (Two or three sentences of
clarification for yourself and your mentors.)
If you are able to show evidence that you are at least at entry level for a particular
competency then state that for the competency but add what you will be doing to deepen your
understanding of the particular competency area as a life-long learner.
