Based on a survey of California principals and interviews with superintendents, this study examines professional learning experiences for the state's school leaders. We find that California's education leaders experience elements of high-quality preparation, with significantly better initial training reported by the state's new principals. However, most principals' learning opportunities are piecemeal and often do not include the elements principals most value. Access to professional learning is especially poor for principals in rural areas. The state's educational leaders do not consistently participate in professional learning opportunities that support them in leading schools that develop students' deeper learning and social and emotional competencies. They do, however, want more of it. [For the full report "Learning to Lead: Understanding California's Learning System for School and District Leaders. Technical Report.
