CAEP Consortium Leadership Academy - California Adult Education Program

CAEP Consortium
Leadership Academy

Enrollment Application

The CAEP Consortium Leadership Academy (CLA) is a new program the CAEP Office and CAEP TAP created to build the capacity of consortia leads, directors, and co-chairs to effectively lead their consortium through a student-centered leadership approach.

Course Purpose

The purpose of the CLA is to increase the capacity of consortium leads, directors, and co-chairs to effectively lead the consortium through a student-centered leadership approach. Consortium leads are charged with providing visionary leadership to the consortium members while balancing the ever-changing landscape of adult education. In response to the growing demand to provide a systematic approach to increasing the capacity of consortium leads and onboarding new consortium leads, the CLA will provide focused training across CAEP modules.

New consortium leaders must be prepared to meet the multiple challenges of guiding and providing visionary leadership to the consortium members. The CLA will deliver statewide staff development for new (or newer) consortium directors and managers in the form of professional development modules. Focused training that prepares individuals to be effective team leaders by accessing the most current information provides the foundation for successful program management. The challenges of ever-changing budgets and funding sources, partnership building, technology integration, and accountability demands can seem overwhelming.

Various recognized experts from the field will present content focused on the practical application of current trends in the organization and the collaboration of consortium members.

The CLA is in alignment with the California Adult Education State Priorities, the CCCCO’s Vision 2030, and the CDE’s Adult Education Office State Plan.
