The mission of the Berkeley School of Education’s Leadership Programs is to develop and sustain a diverse community of equity and justice–focused teacher, school, and system leaders who transform public education, especially for marginalized and historically underserved students. We engage in applied synergistic investigations and the development of innovative practices around this common purpose. Our collective work is framed by three overarching questions:
What does equity and justice–focused leadership look like in practice?
How are equity and justice leaders effectively developed and sustained?
How must educational systems be transformed to be more equitable and just?
Dear Alumni, Friends, and Supporters
2024 was a year of significant achievement and exciting growth while supporting educational leaders through challenging times. It continues to be our honor to support thousands of teacher, site, and district leaders across California to work towards educational equity.
In this report, we are excited to share the work of the Leadership Programs. Highlights include the Principal Leadership Institute (PLI) receiving a prestigious award from the University Council for Educational Administration as a testament to its over twenty years of commitment to preparing future principals. Also, PLI and the Leadership Support Program (LSP) were awarded $1.2 million in state funding to provide tuition assistance for aspiring school leaders from underrepresented backgrounds to pursue an advanced degree and administrative credential in partnership with Oakland Unified School District, San Francisco Unified School District, and West Contra Costa Unified School District.
2024 saw the release of a comprehensive Learning Policy Institute study on the impact of our 21CSLA (21st Century California School Leadership Academy) work in the first threeyear grant cycle. The report found that in 2024, 21CSLA served over 19,000 school leaders throughout California. As the deadline for fulfilling the California Universal Transitional Kindergarten (UTK) mandate approaches in 2025, the 21CSLA UTK Leadership Initiative team continues to provide high-quality learning opportunities for leaders to ensure equitable implementation.
Lastly, we celebrated the life and legacy of the late Christopher Edley Jr., former Berkeley School of Education Interim Dean and dedicated champion for the Leaders for Equity and Democracy (LEAD) EdD program. He was a steadfast advocate for educational justice who truly believed that we must “educate like democracy depends on it.”
As we begin a new year, we remain steadfast in our commitment to support leaders for equity and justice in schools. Thank you for being a part of our work.
In community,

Honoring the Legacy of Christopher Edley Jr.
LEFT Christopher Edley Jr. OPPOSITE Gathering to launch the Christopher Edley Jr. Educational Leadership Memorial Fellowship
A visionary leader for equity and democracy
On November 6, 2024, the Berkeley School of Education (BSE) gathered faculty, alumni, and education leaders to honor former Interim Dean Christopher Edley Jr., a passionate advocate for civil rights and educational equity who passed away earlier this year. The event also launched the Christopher Edley Jr. Educational Leadership Memorial Fellowship, supporting students in the Leaders for Equity and Democracy (LEAD) EdD program.
Edley served as BSE’s interim dean from 2021 to 2023, guiding the school through a name change, expanding access through an undergraduate major, and advancing initiatives in early childhood and online education. Previously, he was Dean of Berkeley Law and co-founded the Civil Rights Project at Harvard Law School, advancing educational equity. A White House advisor under multiple administrations, Edley dedicated his career to racial equity and co-founded the Opportunity Institute, now carried forward by Children Now.
Leaders reflected on Edley’s influence, including Children Now’s Ted Lempert and Maria Echaveste, who highlighted his commitment to whole-child equity. LEAD student and Albany Unified Superintendent Sara Stone shared how Edley’s vision inspires equitable learning environments that strengthen democracy. Olufemi “Femi” Ogundele, LEAD alum and UC Berkeley Associate Vice Chancellor, praised Edley’s leadership as a bridge-building, equitydriven responsibility.
The Christopher Edley Jr. Educational Leadership Memorial Fellowship embodies Edley’s belief that “education is the foundation of democracy.” Contributions to the fellowship will support the next generation of leaders dedicated to transforming educational systems and advancing equity.
For more information about the fellowship or other giving opportunities at the Berkeley School of Education, contact Joe Joseph, Associate Director of Development, at joejoseph@berkeley.edu.
Principal Leadership Institute
The Principal Leadership Institute (PLI) has much to celebrate this year as the 24th cohort of aspiring leaders work to develop their leadership competencies and grow together as a beloved community of learners.
After over two decades of providing high-quality leader preparation, PLI was granted the Exemplary Educational Leadership Preparation Program Award by the University Council for Educational Administration (UCEA). This national award is presented to university-based leader preparation programs that demonstrate robust, research-aligned leader preparation and produce graduates who significantly impact TK–12 schools. PLI is proud to be recognized as an exemplary leader prep program and looks forward to continuing this tradition for years to come.
Another cause for celebration happened this year when the State of California demonstrated its commitment to
diversifying the leader workforce through a historic investment in leader preparation. The Diverse Education Leaders Pipeline Initiative (DELPI) grant, designed to support the recruitment, training, and retention of administrators committed to culturally responsive leadership, was awarded to 10 school districts across the state and will provide $10M in funding to offset tuition costs for leader preparation and induction. This funding will have a direct impact on the leadership landscape in the Bay Area as San Francisco Unified, Oakland Unified, and West Contra Costa Unified have all been awarded DELPI funding for the 2024–2027 academic years and have selected PLI as their leadership preparation provider. Eight members of the current PLI cohort are already taking advantage of this grant, having 90% of their PLI tuition and fees covered. This is a game changer for diverse candidates who want to continue to serve their local school districts. Removing financial barriers is one way to ensure that leaders who look like the communities they serve have the opportunity to develop their leadership skills and give back to their home districts.
For more information about the Principal Leadership Institute and the DELPI scholarship opportunity, visit bse.berkeley.edu/pli or contact Director Soraya Sablo Sutton at sorayasutton@berkeley.edu.
Developing a robust pipeline of leaders of color is vital in education, with research highlighting its positive effects on teacher retention, student enrollment in advanced classes, and graduation rates for students of color. In California, where nearly 4 out of 5 students are students of color, the ripple effect of these positive outcomes is hard to overstate.”

My cohort of fellow new administrators provided me with invaluable support as we navigated the uncharted waters of administration together, compared leadership experiences, made connections to the Leadership Connection Rubric, and shared advice with one another during seminars.”
2024 LSP GRADUATE
Berkeley’s Leadership Support Program (LSP) continues to support early career leaders as they work towards obtaining a Clear Administrative Services Credential in the State of California. This two-year job-embedded induction program provides extensive support and mentorship for new administrators through retreats, seminars, intensive individualized coaching, and opportunities to connect with a far-reaching network of equity-focused educational leaders in the Bay Area and beyond.
In 2024, LSP reached 70 leaders committed to advancing social justice across California. The local Bay Area cohorts represent 15 school districts and 5 charter organizations. Launched in September 2024, the most recent LSP cohort includes leaders working across elementary, secondary, and central offices. These early career leaders are eager to explore strategies for leading schools and supporting students and families in everchanging educational, social, economic, and political contexts.
The LSP curriculum is guided by the same Leadership Connection Rubric utilized in the PLI preparation program and provides an opportunity for new leaders to dive deeper into the application of leadership competencies within an equity framework. In the coming years, LSP will expand its number of cohort participants through the Diverse Education Leaders Pipeline Initiative, which will cover 50% of the induction costs for leaders working in Oakland, San Francisco, and West Contra Costa Unified School Districts.
As Leadership Programs strives to educate like democracy depends on it, LSP’s work supporting transformational leaders to fiercely advocate for equity is more urgent than ever before.

Leaders for Equity and Democracy
2024 was a big year for the Leaders for Equity and Democracy (LEAD) EdD program, punctuated by the graduation of the first cohort of LEADers! These newly minted doctors are serving as educational system leaders in districts, county offices, and institutes of higher education.
Many are also continuing to publish, present, and otherwise disseminate the research they engaged in throughout the dissertation process.
As Cohort 1 walked the graduation stage, the nine students in Cohort 2 continued their journey toward the doctorate, maintaining LEAD’s 100% persistence rate and tracking toward on-time program completion. Cohort 2 has benefited from new additions to LEAD, including a new course focused on governance and strategic planning, and the infusion of new Senate faculty with expertise in early childhood and higher education. Among the highlights for many students, this November, the cohort had the opportunity to participate in a place-based field visit to Southern California, visiting schools, nonprofits, universities, and local cultural centers, anchored in the theme, “Investigating Cross-Sector Solutions at Scale.”
Together, these early cohorts offer meaningful proof of concept for LEAD’s model—a rigorous yet supportive threeyear doctorate that blends cohort-based learning with personalized pathways and connects students with world-class faculty who specialize in specific areas of practice.

HERE AND OPPOSITE Leaders for Equity and Democracy in the field
After nearly three decades in education, I know that creating equitable schools goes beyond improving student outcomes; it’s about sustaining the fabric of our democracy. LEAD enables practitioners to become researchers who not only see the systemic roots of inequity but also ask critical questions about how these systems function and empower leaders to drive meaningful change.”

Cohort-based learning with personalized pathways
21CSLA State Center
Designing, implementing, and sustaining high-quality equity-centered professional learning is the core mission and purpose of 21CSLA (21st Century California School Leadership Academy). As a leader in professional learning, 21CSLA is committed to personal development and growth, which includes positioning all community members as learners and working in collaboration.
2024 saw the release of a comprehensive Learning Policy Institute (LPI) study of the program’s impact in the first three-year grant cycle. The report found that in 2024 alone, 21CSLA served over 19,000 school leaders throughout California.
21CSLA continues to lead a statewide Universal Transitional Kindergarten (UTK) Leadership Initiative to prepare leaders to implement California’s bold vision equitably. Through a three-level professional learning approach and a Leadership Certificate, the program integrates essential knowledge,
strategies, and perspectives of early childhood practitioners and scholars.
In 2024, the UTK Professional Learning program:
• Implemented a train-the-trainer model featuring eight research-based, equitycentered learning modules with over 55 regional trainers across seven regions.
• Collaborated with seven Regional Academies to support professional learning opportunities serving leaders across the state.
• Supported learning and continuous improvement through a statewide UTK Regional Trainer Community of Practice focused on equity facilitation, module content, and localization.
In 2024, the UTK Leadership Certificate program:
• Served over 45 California school leaders who completed the program and received their UTK Leadership certificate.
• Initiated an internal program evaluation to examine how the certificate program is enhancing the capacity of P–3 school leaders.

For the 21CSLA Bay Area Regional Academy, 2024 saw the beginning of an exciting new three years of service to leaders across their six-county area. They went deeper into work that they had already begun, including their annual Leading for Justice Summit in June 2024, this time emphasizing the importance of youth voice. The Summit featured leaders of community schools discussing their work as well as a panel of youth leaders speaking about their K–12 experiences and leading breakout sessions for attendees to expand their learning.
The 21CSLA Bay Area Regional Academy continues its work of convening leaders for topical communities of practice, including special offerings for teacher leaders and those working in the Universal Transitional Kindergarten space. They also gathered librarians across their service area for an inaugural School Librarian Community of Practice. In their community school convenings, they began their first-ever site visits to local leaders at their schools, bringing the light and life of students and staff engaged in best practices in a concrete way to these gatherings.
Their affinity group work carries on as well, and in the spring of 2024, they added the White Anti-Racist Leaders Network to the existing African American, Latinx, and Asian American Pacific Islander networks. This year, they began a deeper study of practices that best serve leaders in these
groups and are excited to share their findings.

Awards and Accolades
Jabari Mahiri (Faculty Director, Leadership Programs) received the University Council for Educational Administration (UCEA) Master Professor Award, honoring his exceptional contributions to teaching, academic leadership, and mentorship.
We have to tell the stories of those who are most marginalized in our society and let those stories frame the narratives of what we focus on as equity-conscious leaders.”
JABARI MAHIRI, UCEA AWARD ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
Rebecca Cheung (Assistant Dean, Leadership Programs; Director, 21CSLA) received the UC Berkeley Chancellor’s Award for Advancing Institutional Excellence and Equity, a grant recognizing outstanding leadership that advances campus efforts to build an inclusive environment, serve the needs of our increasingly diverse state, and create a more just and equitable society. Rebecca also received the Professor of Education award from California Association of Asian & Pacific Leaders in Education (CAAPLE) for her commitment to shaping future education leaders.
As the first non-senate faculty member to receive this award, I want to thank campus leaders for putting a spotlight on the professional programs in the Berkeley School of Education. Through our research and partnerships, we can and should deeply contribute to the transformation of public education. It is through the inclusion of professional knowledge and perspectives that our efforts can be sharpened to inform the field.”

Extending
our impact on educational leadership
The course content was rich, varied, and highly in-depth. Teaching methods were flexible and diverse, including rigorous academic lectures, lively group discussions, and in-depth case analysis.” VISITING EDUCATIONAL LEADER
Introducing the Accelerator
In Spring 2024, Leadership Programs launched the Educational Leadership Learning Accelerator (the Accelerator) to connect diverse offerings and extend the program’s impact on education beyond degree and grant-funded programs. The Accelerator’s programming includes:
Leadership Coaching
Since 2014, Leadership Programs has provided coaching for over 120 educational leaders— confidential one-on-one coaching that is grounded in Berkeley’s coaching for justice and equity model. In 2024, these services became a part of the Accelerator. Current coachees include site and system-level leaders serving in nine different Bay Area districts, charters, or county offices.
Professional Learning Opportunities
The Accelerator offers a range of programming for U.S. and international educational leaders. Highlights from 2024 include:
• Leadership Clinics: In 2024, the Accelerator hosted the fifth annual Interview Clinic to support leaders in successfully securing new administrative roles. Innovating on the previous success of the clinics, the Accelerator piloted a Funding Equity Clinic to help leaders align strategic equity goals with public and private funding opportunities.
• Communities of Practice (CoPs): In collaboration with Adjunct Professor Özge Hacıfazlıoğlu, the Accelerator facilitated two International Communities
of Practice. Using BSE’s new Immersive Virtual Classroom, U.S.- and Chilebased scholars explored Social Justice Leadership in International Contexts over four two-hour virtual sessions.
Visiting Educational Leaders
In Summer 2024, the Accelerator welcomed a cohort of 37 educational leaders from the Weiming Education Group in China. During their two-week visit, participants engaged with UC Berkeley scholars and Bay Area leaders to explore innovative educational practices and develop their leadership capacity.
For more information, visit bse.berkeley.edu/ leadership/ella or contact Coordinator Stacey Blankenbaker at sblankenbaker@ berkeley.edu.

Welcoming new faculty
The Berkeley School of Education and Leadership Programs welcomed two new faculty members in 2024.
Dr. Jennifer Delaney joined the Berkeley School of Education in January 2024. Her research investigates higher education finance questions with public policy importance. Prior to joining BSE, she was a tenured Professor of Higher Education in the Department of Education Policy, Organization, and Leadership at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign, where she was also the Director of the Forum on the Future of Public Education and Director of the Higher Education Program. Dr. Delaney will begin teaching
and advising students in LEAD in 2025, with an emphasis on those whose practice and scholarship align with higher education.
In August, the Berkeley School of Education welcomed Assistant Professor of Early Childhood Education, Dr. Dana MillerCotto. Dr. Miller-Cotto’s research focuses on understanding the role of executive functions—key cognitive processes that help regulate our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions— in children's learning of mathematics. Her work has the potential to significantly enhance how we design effective learning materials based on cognitive science principles. Dr. Miller-Cotto has begun serving on student committees in LEAD
and will continue to take a more active role in advising and supporting PLI and LEAD students, including those whose work intersects with California’s early childhood education system.
Announcing third edition of Leadership Connection Rubric
As a key resource for the Principal Leadership Institute (PLI) and Leadership Support Program (LSP), the Leadership Connection Rubric guides effective leadership preparation, induction, ongoing support, coaching, and supervision of school and district leaders. Since 2012, the Leadership Connection Rubric has been an invaluable resource for school leaders. Leadership Programs is pleased to announce that a third edition of the Leadership Connection Rubric will debut in 2025. A team led by PLI Director Soraya Sablo Sutton is developing a new version of the Leadership Connection Rubric that seeks to better serve the needs of leaders given the current political climate. For more information, visit bse. berkeley.edu/pli/leadershipconnection-rubric.
