Improving learning outcomes for all young children requires skilled and knowledgeable leaders who are disposed to effectively promote early care and education program and system goals. Yet, state early education administrators--those responsible for overseeing pre-Kindergarten policies and programs--vary in their leadership competencies. To address this gap, the Center on Enhancing Early Learning Outcomes (CEELO) designed a Leadership Academy to support the development of early education administrators' leadership skills and competencies. A senior technical assistance provider and consultant to CEELO designed a review with the aim of describing the unique aspects of the CEELO Leadership Academy, gathering stakeholder perspectives on how the Academy informed participants' leadership capacity, and in turn, how the participants (called Fellows) have used the knowledge, skills and experiences from the Leadership Academy to improve the capacity of their respective state offices of early learning to better target their work to improve early learning outcomes. Participants in the retrospective study reported that the Leadership Academy improved outcomes for the participating fellows and led to some improvements in state education agency capacities. Despite highly favorable perceptions of the Leadership Academy, several study participants recommended changes that could improve future Leadership Academies. Based on analysis data collected for this study, this summary provides six recommendations for changes to future Leadership Academies. [For the full report, see ED615037.]
