Regional Cohorts

Our regional cohorts increase access to Lewis & Clark’s Principal License Program by offering small, in-person, hybrid, or online courses taught by working administrators in your region that are offered in regional locations. We are currently seeking licensed educators and aspiring educational leaders who are dedicated to ensuring all students have equitable and inclusive access to education, and who are committed to being equity-focused change agents in their region.

We are currently running regional cohorts in the following areas. For more information about forming or joining a regional cohort, please contact that region’s coordinator. If you are interested in forming a cohort in a region not currently represented, please contact Megan Barrett at mbarrett@lclark.edu.

Scholarship Support

Scholarship opportunities are available from the Oregon Administrator Scholars Program (OASP), which could fully cover the cost of your license.

The scholarships may be used to pay for classes, fees and related costs.
