Since the No Child Left Behind Act (2001), the CSMP has supported the California Department of Education (CDE) in its efforts to meet teacher quality goals and has organized regional support to better assist its K-12 partners with whole school change efforts in low performing schools. Since the CSMP’s authorization, the network has grown to close to 100 convenient sites across the state on campuses of the University of California, California State University, and independent colleges and universities. The CSMP was launched as a network of nine projects authorized by California Statute in 1988 and most recently by Ducheny Senate Bill 232.
