A leadership experience for alternative education teams ready to strengthen systems and outcomes.
Are you an administrator, director, counselor or teacher working in alternative education? CCEA Plus is proud to announce The Leadership Academy for this fall 2026 — a transformative initiative designed to equip leaders in continuation high schools, community day schools, independent study programs and other alternative education settings with the tools, knowledge, and strategies they need to succeed.
The Leadership Academy offers tailored workshops that focus exclusively on the unique challenges and opportunities within alternative education. With a strong emphasis on the California Education Code and its application to alternative settings, participants will dive into innovative strategies and best practices to foster student success and improve school performance.

About the Leadership Academy
What makes The Leadership Academy unique? Unlike traditional education conferences that often require you to adapt general ideas to fit alternative education, The Leadership Academy provides content specifically created for schools like yours. This means you’ll walk away with actionable insights and practical skills that you can implement immediately. No translation. No guesswork. Just impactful strategies for real-world results.
Join a growing network of dedicated leaders who are shaping the future of alternative education. Be part of a learning experience that speaks directly to your work and your students’ needs.
- Open to principals, teachers and staff in alternative education.
- One day workshop event following the Model School Reader sessions.
- Similar to previous “Principals’ Institute” events.
This professional development workshop follows the Model School Reading sessions on the Friday before the Leadership Academy.
What leaders will gain:
1. Education Code clarify — Deep understanding of CA Education Code as it applies to alternative education.
2. Practical solutions — Apply research-based solutions tailored for alternative education schools.
3. Leadership network — Build connections with leaders who share similar challenges, responsibilities and passion.
4. Immediate tools — Leave with usable tools to create meaningful change for your school community.
