Professional Learning

Supported by the 21CSLA State Center, the Regional Academies deliver three types of professional learning: 

Communities of Practice

A space for leaders in similar roles to come together and work on equity-centered problems of practice using continuous improvement, while championing transformational leadership.

Localized Professional Learning

Leaders participate in a process of practitioner inquiry that advances educational equity for a specific context around leadership, equity, and continuous improvement. Problems of practice are situated in and arise from the regional communities and are determined through an extensive needs-assessment process.

Leadership Coaching

Coaches provide job-embedded coaching built on relational trust and focused on equity-centered problems of practice using continuous improvement. They also support leaders with system transformation to ensure all children fulfill their potential to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.
