Abstract: High-quality professional learning can support in-service leaders' effectiveness by developing the skills, knowledge, and competencies necessary for addressing their full range of leadership responsibilities. however, recent data show that leaders' access to professional learning varies across states and communities and that leaders in high-poverty schools are less likely than those in low-poverty schools to have high-quality learning opportunities. States can expand access to leadership development and make access more equitable by investing in ongoing statewide initiatives, such as leadership academies or institutes. Building the infrastructure for leadership-relevant professional learning can allow for long-term capacity building of a state's leadership workforce and create opportunities for leaders to access a continuum of support over the course of their career. The purpose of this study was to understand the infrastructure that states have built for leadership-relevant professional learning by identifying the long-term leadership development initiatives supported by states and analyzing their purposes, target audiences, and scope. They conducted a scan between March and May of 2023 using search engines, state department of education websites, and other web-based documents. The researchers found that at least 26 states support ongoing statewide leadership development initiatives to build the knowledge and skills of in-service leaders. This report provides examples of different states' initiatives related to each of these functions. It also briefly addresses the federal, state, and local funding sources that states draw on to develop and sustain these initiatives.
