Abstract: In 2013, the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) approved the implementation of a performance assessment for all preliminary services credential candidates. The result is what is now known as the California Administrator Performance Assessment (CalAPA). Consisting of three sub-assessments, prospective administrators will need to successfully complete and pass the CalAPA. In this article, we provide background information about the CalAPA, present an example of one university's response to this opportunity to increase the rigor of its program, and describe an introductory CalAPA two-day workshop. Additionally, we share the early perspectives of programs and their initial responses to the CalAPA.
