ACSA's job-specific academies provide a solid foundation of training in the application of management fundamentals for new or aspiring administrators. These academies are seen as the "fast-track" into a career as a superintendent, principal, business manager, personnel administrators, special education/pupil services director, confidental employee or classified manager.
The academies are designed around the California Professional Standards for Educational Leaders and the standards for the Commission on Teacher Credentialing's Professional Clear Administrative Services Credential.
