About Us

We are an organization dedicated to the following beliefs:

  • That we are committed to developing school leaders who have the best interests of preschool through adult leaners at heart
  • That we are preparing leaders for an Information Age and a global society
  • That education includes values, attitudes, skills and knowledge to assist students in becoming meaningful participants in global society
  • That cultural diversity in changing communities presents opportunities for schools to develop meaningful curricula
  • That the education profession benefits from a professoriate in educational administration which cooperates with the profession and provides independent criticism and support
  • That the professional preparation of educational administrators should fundamentally be conducted by active, full time faculty, blending teaching, scholarship, service and research
  • That a primary function of the professoriate is to identify a knowledge base benefitting from a diversity of philosophical views and approaches
  • That the organization is committed to collaboration with appropriate professional organizations and agencies -- for example, Association of California School Administrators, California School Leadership Academy, Commission on Teacher Credentialing
  • That the profession benefits from the ongoing renewal of ideas and perspectives afforded by the very existence of this organization
