Getting Your Community Ed. Directors License

Getting a Community Education Directors license not only opens up options for advancing your career in Community Education but the process of being connected to a group of students who are pursuing similar licenses (Principals, Special Education Directors and Superintendents) creates connections to opportunities that may have not otherwise been known. Education is something that no one can ever take away and the professional growth that happens as a result of each journey will only better prepare you for ANY opportunity that lies ahead.
