INDIANAPOLIS (Aug 28, 2025) – Indiana Wesleyan University (IWU) proudly announces that the Education Specialist (EdS) in District Level Leadership program is now recognized as fully aligned to National Educational Leadership Preparation (NELP) standards without conditions.
The NELP building-level standards were designed for institutions undergoing Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) accreditation and NELP program review. The NELP building-level standards are appropriate for advanced programs at the master, specialist, or doctoral level that prepare assistant principals, principals, curriculum directors, supervisors, and other education leaders in a school building environment.
The NELP building-level standards are provided by the NELP Specialized Professional Association (SPA), sponsored by the National Policy Board for Educational Administration (NPBEA).
IWU’s EdS in District Level Leadership is now fully aligned to NELP standards—so you can prepare with confidence for high-impact roles at the district level. Explore the program, request details, or start your application today.
