| مستخلص: | California has a notable history of investing in educational leaders' professional learning. In 1983, the state launched the California School Leadership Academy (CSLA), which it funded until the academy was discontinued due to statewide budget cuts in 2003. Research showed that CSLA was a source of high-quality professional development. In 2019, the state legislature reinvested in leaders' professional learning when it authorized the 21st Century California School Leadership Academy (21CSLA) to provide high-quality professional learning opportunities that are accessible and free of charge to California's PreK-12 educational leaders, including central office leaders, site leaders, and teacher leaders. The professional learning is delivered through seven regional academies that offer three primary types of learning opportunities: communities of practice (i.e., cohorts of leaders in similar roles collaboratively working on problems of practice), localized professional learning (i.e., learning opportunities developed in response to regional need), and individualized coaching by trained coaches. 21CSLA is one of several lead agencies that compose the California Statewide System of Support, an important part of the state's accountability and continuous improvement strategy that is designed to help local education agencies (LEAs) and their schools meet the needs of each student they serve. The purpose of this study is to understand how 21CSLA contributes to leadership development in California. Specifically, the study seeks to understand how 21CSLA currently supports the professional learning needs of educational leaders and how it fits within the broader state infrastructure to support educational improvement. The goal of the study is to inform policymakers and program administrators about the work and accomplishments of 21CSLA during the initiative's first 3-year grant cycle and point to ways in which the state can further support 21CSLA efforts to serve California's educational leaders. |
