The KCOE CASC program is a CTC approved program designed for full-time school administrators who hold the Preliminary Administrative Services Credential and now need to clear that preliminary credential by obtaining the Clear Administrative Services Credential. 

The CASC program is an individualized, job-embedded, two-year program with enrollment in a program expected upon placement in an administrative position, but no later than one year from activation of the preliminary credential (CTC PSA 16-13). This two-year program includes job-embedded one-on-one coaching with a skilled, veteran administrator, Individualized Leadership Plans for the two years, individualized professional learning experiences, networking opportunities with job-alike peers, as well as a culminating portfolio representing two years of leadership development based upon the CPSEL.

To be eligible for a Clear Administrative Services Credential, individuals must satisfy all the following requirements:

• Possess a valid Preliminary Administrative Services Credential (or be in the process of converting a certificate of eligibility to a Preliminary Administrative Services Credential).
• Verify a full-time administrative position while holding a Preliminary Administrative Services Credential. 
• Complete a Commission-Approved alternative program based on Commission-adopted guidelines resulting in a formal recommendation from the program sponsor. 

In order to meet Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) requirements, candidates must enroll in the CASC program within 120 days of receiving an administrative position.
