Senior Editor, Loyola Marymount University CAPEA is celebrating its twenty-third year of the journal Educational Leadership and Administration: Teaching and Program Development. This year the editors accepted contributions that focused on promising practices and improvements of educational leadership preparation programs as they related to one or more of CAPEA's ve focus areas: (a) Teaching and Program Development, (b) Diversity and Social Justice, (c) Technology, (d) Research, and (e) Advocacy. Educational Leadership and Administration: Teaching and Program Development is a refereed journal published yearly since 1988 for the California Association of Professors of Educational Administration (CA- PEA) and is listed in the Current Index to Journals in Education (CIJE). Beginning with this issue, Volume 23, 2011, the journal is published by NCPEA Publications, and endorsed by the National Council of Pro- fessors of Educational Administration, our national aliate. This journal is catalogued in the Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) database providing a comprehensive, easy-to-use, searchable Internet- based bibliographic and full text database for education research and information for educators, researchers, and the general public. To better address and meet one of CAPEA's stated goals to support CAPEA members by assisting with publishing opportunities and continuing to increase the quality and relevance of the CAPEA Journal, this 23rd edition will bear witness to the transition from a print journal to an on-line platform; as an Open Education Resource (OER); providing for world-wide readership of the journal available in approximately 50 countries and throughout the United States (through NCPEA Publications and Connexions). CAPEA is grateful for the professional tutelage and endorsement from our national aliate, NCPEA, and looks forward to a very promising partnership. A special thank you to Ted Creighton, Publisher NCPEA Publications, for all his support Ted was instrumental in forging this new relationship. The 2011 Editorial Review Board used a blind review process for selecting articles in this journal. The senior editor sincerely thanks the editors for dedicating their time in reviewing and critiquing submissions. This year's process has made it possible to oer a scholarly journal to members of the California Associa- tion of Professors of Educational Administration and to a larger educational leadership world community. Congratulations and much gratitude is extended to all of the authors who contributed manuscripts. Enjoy!
