Sonoma Leadership Network
The Sonoma Leadership Network, now in its eleventh year, brings together district teams to study and implement the research, best practices, and effective strategies used by high-performing, gap-closing schools. The goal of this initiative is systems change – creating urgency, intensity, coherence, and focus on student learning system-wide.
With meetings scheduled throughout the school year, the Network is an ongoing professional development opportunity for teams of district leaders, principals, and teacher-leaders. Each session is dedicated to the study and implementation of research-based strategies that improve student achievement and narrow the achievement gap. Participants will leave every session with tools, strategies, and protocols they can use immediately. Time for teams to create action plans and plan next steps for implementation is incorporated into each meeting.
2016-17 Network
The focus for the next two years:
- Examine content and instruction through the lens of culturally responsive teaching.
- Build students’ capacity to engage in rigorous conversation and increase their ability to be critical readers and writers.
- Acquire culturally responsive concepts and techniques.
- Design lessons using a modified lesson study model.
- Examine implementations issues that support or hinder integration of culturally responsive teaching strategies.
- Facilitated By:
