Educational Partner Engagement

The California Department of Education (CDE) and the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence (CCEE) invited educational partners to provide input on “critical areas” of professional learning through the 21CSLA in September and October 2019 through webinars and a survey.

Webinar

The 21CSLA webinars took place on September 16, 19, and 20, 2019. During these sessions, the audience was provided an overview of 21CSLA and asked to provide input on “critical areas” for professional learning for principals and other school leaders. The intended audience for the input sessions were school and district administrators at all levels, county office staff, statewide and local educational agencies and organizations, and other interested educational partners.
