CAPSS is engaged in a partnership with the Neag School of Education's Educational Leadership Department in the Executive Leadership Program that prepares aspiring leaders for the position of superintendent of schools. CAPSS assists in coordinating the superintendent internship component of this program. Experienced superintendents are invited to serve as ELP mentors each year. In many cases, ELP mentors are also invited into Executive Leadership classes to share standards-based best practices in district leadership with aspiring superintendents.
