The Madera County Superintendent of Schoolsopens in a new window Human Resources Division houses four unique programs to serve educators, state-wide, wishing to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to improve teaching and learning, holding high expectations for all students, effectively impacting the field of education through becoming equity-driven teacher and site leaders on their campuses.

• Bridges to Leadership Preliminary Administrative Services credential program (PASC): The purpose of the Bridges to Leadership-PASC program is to prepare equity-focused instructional leaders who establish and support an inclusive and just school culture that meets the needs of all students; build the capacity of all educational partners; value individual assets and needs.
• Clear Administrative Services credential program (CASC): In collaboration with the Fresno County Superintendent of Schools, the CASC program provides guidance to new administrators going through the process of clearing their Preliminary Administrative Services credential. The program is designed, through mentorship and self-reflection, to provide guidance and insight into the many challenges that administrators face in the school system.
• California Administrator Performance Assessment (CalAPA) support program for CASC candidates: The CalAPA Support Program is designed to provide those few candidates who took advantage of the PS-waiver and are now in a CASC program, but have not completed one or more of the CalAPA assessment cycles, the opportunity to successfully engage with, submit, and pass the CalAPA.
• Added Authorizations credential program (AA): The purpose of the AA credential program is to prepare Special Education teachers with the supplemental knowledge and skills to effectively support students in the three specialty areas including Early Childhood Special Education (ECSEAA).
