Clear Administrative Services Credential (CASC) Program
Develop leaders. Deepen Practice. Sustain Impact.
OCDE's CASC program supports practicing administrators as they strengthen their leadership practice and earn their Clear Administrative Services Credential. Through individualized, job-embedded coaching, candidates reflect on their leadership, navigate real challenges, and apply learning directly within their current role.
Designed around the realities of educational leadership, CASC replaces traditional classes and coursework with personalized coaching, reflection, and authentic application. Candidates benefit from access to OCDE's extensive network of experienced educational leaders, allowing them to be thoughtfully matched with a coach whose experience and expertise align with their role, goals, and leadership context. This individualized approach allows administrators to grow as leaders while doing the work of leading.
For districts and educational organizations, CASC provides an opportunity to invest in and retain emerging leaders during the critical early years of administration, strengthening leadership capacity and supporting long-term success.
