In an innovative new project, CCAP is partnering with WestEd on CA2.0 – Advancing Equity and Access Through Quality Authorizing to develop a comprehensive set of actionable tools and resources that meet the varied needs of California authorizers, with a special focus on access and serving English learners and underserved students effectively.

“High-quality authorizing is at the heart of equity,” said David Patterson, president of CCAP’s board of directors. “It empowers educators and parents to provide all children the excellent education they deserve and that a more just society demands.”

CCAP’s accomplishments make it uniquely qualified to meet this challenge.

• Conducted the first state-wide survey of California authorizers
• Providing high-quality webinars, resources, and ongoing training for authorizers, guidance on COVID-19.
• Creating Authorizer Toolkits in partnership with WestEd, which will provide powerful new resources for charter review and oversight.
• Partnering with the California Small School Districts’ Association (SSDA), to address their unique challenges as small authorizers.
• Partnering with the Colorado Association of Charter School Authorizers (CACSA), and the Florida Association of Charter School Authorizers (FACSA) to create the Tri-State Alliance to Improve District-Led Charter Authorizing.
