Current and Recent Offerings

What We Offer 

The Regional Academies offer three types of support to school leaders: Communities of Practice, Localized Professional Learning, and Leadership Coaching.

This year, the focus for Communities of Practice will be Equity and Distance Learning.

Communities of Practice

Leading for Equity: Reopening Schools

Site leaders this school year are balancing the immediate needs of students and staff along with increasing calls for reimagining and reinventing schools and programs for more equity when we fully reopen post-pandemic. In acknowledging the need for both immediate responses and long-term planning, this Community of Practice is designed for site leaders to interrogate, investigate, and experiment around key issues that they currently face.

Application deadline: January 21st, 2020

LeadIn Math

In this three-month community of practice, diverse Bay Area teacher leaders will join together to learn, practice, reflect on, and improve their instructional coaching skills, with a particular emphasis on improving math outcomes for students furthest from opportunity, including students of color, multilingual learners, and students with disabilities.
