Focus
Data Academy
CCEE launched the Data Academy as a pilot initiative in 2024-25 to strengthen data capacity among K–12 education professionals across the state. Building on the success of its inaugural year, the 2025-26 Data Academy offers three free courses tailored to data analysts, school-site leaders, and senior data leaders.
African American Student Success Network
Facilitated in partnership with the California Association of African American Superintendents and Administrators (CAAASA), the African American Student Success Network (AASSN) is a statewide learning network that brings together district and county office teams to measurably improve the academic, social-emotional learning, and lifelong outcomes of Black students in California.
Universal Design for Learning Implementation Network
The Universal Design for Learning Implementation Network is a statewide learning network designed to improve access and coherence of supports for schools and districts implementing Universal Design for Learning (UDL). In partnership with Open Access, LEA teams identify barriers to learning, apply research-based strategies, and use continuous improvement to strengthen teaching and learning for all students.
County Office Data Leadership Network
In partnership with the California Department of Education, CCEE will be launching a Data Leadership Network for County Office staff who are interested in building their capacity around effective data systems, analysis, and communication to support schools and districts.
Data Literacy & Leadership Resource Hub
Curated by the County Office Data Visualization Network, the Data Literacy & Leadership Resource Hub offers curated visualization, analytical, communication, and storytelling tools to support LEA teams develop internal dashboards and analyses, create meaningful visualizations, and support insightful data communications/storytelling.
Statewide Chronic Absenteeism Working Group
Facilitated by the California Department of Education (CDE) and Attendance Works, CCEE supports the Statewide Chronic Absenteeism Taskforce, which aims to identify, adapt, and implement effective strategies to reduce chronic absenteeism across California. Read about the State’s commitment to reducing chronic absenteeism by 50% over 5 years, and access the California Attendance Guide in additional resources below, which was released in 2025 to provide an overview of best practices and lessons learned in reducing chronic absenteeism.
Data for Impact
CCEE is committed to measuring the impact of our work, focusing on the questions, “What has changed for students as a result of our work?” and “How do we know?” We examine these questions throughout the year and incorporate them into our Annual Report each year.
Professional Learning Resources
We develop, curate, and deliver synchronous and asynchronous digital professional learning opportunities to support educators with authentic problems of practice.
Microlearning Modules
We partner with instructional leaders across the state to create accessible learning resources focused on immediately usable classroom strategies for substitute teachers, paraeducators, and non-traditional instructional staff.
