The University of California, Berkeley, in collaboration with Bay Area school districts and other partners, offers Leadership Support Program (LSP), a Professional Clear Administrative Services Credential program.

LSP is the longest-running university-based induction program in California, supporting leaders since 2002. Participants in LSP include new administrators who have graduated from the UC Berkeley's Principal Leadership Institute and other leaders from the Bay Area and across California.

The Associate Coordinator of Public Programs will act as the Leadership Support Program Coordinator and will design, conduct, promote, and support educational programs for practicing educational leaders both locally and globally.

LSP serves leaders in the SF Bay Area and Los Angeles through in-person and/or online modalities, and is nested within the BSE Leadership Programs, which provide comprehensive support to educational leaders spanning the continuum from teacher leaders to senior-most system leaders. The position requires collaboration with internal and external partners, applying a deep understanding of public TK-12 education, best practices in educational leadership, and state and federal policies. The LSP Coordinator will serve as a strategic planning and coaching partner to district contacts and other important constituents.

This role encompasses two primary areas of responsibility: (1) Management of overall program operations of the Leadership Support Program (LSP), a 2-year induction program for newly credentialed administrators in California, for which the Coordinator will oversee all core programmatic aspects; and (2) Coaching educational leaders with an explicit emphasis on coaching for equity and social justice.
