The Data Governance Academy supports COEs assisting LEAs in Differentiated Assistance (DA) through the CALPADS pathway, as well as LEAs themselves in CALPADS DA. We encourage broad participation—cabinet leaders, IT and related staff, and CALPADS administrators—because the training both educates and jumpstarts local Data Governance efforts. Unlike traditional CSIS trainings, this series is not designed for staff doing routine CALPADS work, though they are welcome to join alongside leadership. Session 1 focuses on helping leaders view and act on data from an enterprise-wide perspective, not within any single system. The Academy introduces simplified Data Governance concepts and strategies for leadership teams to strengthen local data practices statewide. While developed as a preventative support for CALPADS-related DA, participation does not require DA eligibility.
