The Association of California School Administrators (ACSA) is the driving force for an equitable, world-class education system that can meet the diverse needs of all California students. The mission of the Association of California School Administrators is to advocate in the best interests of students and to develop, empower and inspire equity-minded educational leaders.
The Association of California School Administrators is the largest umbrella organization for school leaders in the United States, serving more than 17,000 California educators.
ACSA’s top priority is advocating for public school students in kindergarten through grade 12, as well as adult learners. Our mission is to be the driving force of education in California and beyond.
Administrators in California had long talked of forming an umbrella organization that encompassed their varied professional functions. Formed in July, 1971, ACSA became the first operative united administrator organization in the nation.
Since ACSA’s inception, administrator associations in 39 states have moved toward some form of consolidated or umbrella organization. ACSA is the only association in the nation that encompasses the broad spectrum of the management/leadership team.
ACSA serves administrators in 19 regions throughout California, each made up of local charters.
About the California Subject Matter Project
About the California Subject Matter Project
The California Subject Matter Project (CSMP) is a network of nine discipline-based projects that provide rigorous professional development, designed by K–12 and university educators, to enhance learning for all students. Through nearly 90 regional sites statewide, CSMP creates communities of practice that promote high-quality teaching, leadership and educational equity. CSMP gives educators a variety of professional learning opportunities designed by teachers and university faculty — including workshops, leadership institutes and in-service programs. Through the project’s research-based approach, participants improve and enrich their teaching of specific subjects.
With a network comprising the nine projects listed below, CSMP encompasses the course content represented in California’s K–12 standards and frameworks, and covers all of the academic disciplines required to meet college entrance (“a-g”) requirements.
The California Arts Project
California History-Social Science Project
California Global Education Project
California Mathematics Project
California Physical Education-Health Project
California Reading & Literature Project
California Science Project
California World Language Project
California Writing Project
Of the many professional development opportunities available to California teachers, few are as well-regarded and enduring as CSMP’s portfolio of programs. The project differs from other educator professional development providers in its unique, long-standing model, which includes the following hallmarks:
Programs join subject-specific content with innovative pedagogy.
School-university partnerships, including collaboration between K–12 teachers and university faculty, are collegial in nature, honoring teacher knowledge.
Cultivation of and emphasis on teacher leadership.
After completing a program, teachers are offered ongoing education resources and support through professional communities.
These core elements have remained consistent in spite of budget cuts and the growing needs of the districts, schools and teachers CSMP serves.
