From our national journal to biannual conferences, CAPEL advances the scholarship that shapes the preparation of educational leaders.

LEADERSHIP
CAPEL members don't just study leadership — they model it. We develop the faculty who develop the leaders California's schools need.
Educational Leadership and Administration:
Teaching and Program Development
A peer-reviewed open access journal published by CAPEL in partnership with ICPEL since 1988. We publish rigorous empirical and theoretical scholarship across five focus areas: educational leadership preparation, equity and social justice, technology, research, and advocacy.
We're currently accepting submissions and reviewers for Volume 35.
