Mission
To support a regional network of elementary administrators dedicated to sharing best practices where all students experience success and are prepared to meet the challenges for the 21st century.
Collegial Support
Addressing needs of new and experienced Elementary School Leaders
Providing opportunities for professional growth and dialogue among experienced administrators
This module will assist participants to discuss, identify and prioritize supports for site-based instructional leadership for science.
Participants will be presented with data from current research on the role of the site principal in support and advocacy of systems change, in addition to current research specifically focused on instructional leadership for science.
What we will be covering:
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) & Arts Integration Lesson Study is a four-night series of workshops designed to introduce ULD and Arts Integration to teachers, and help teachers utilize UDL and Arts Integration in their classrooms. Participants who attend all evenings and complete all work are eligible for 1 extended learning credit through CSUS.
The objectives of this lesson study are:
· Understand the UDL framework, and be able to utilize it in teaching practice.
It’s science. Students who doodle or sketch during their note-taking retain up to 29% more of covered content! But, instructor fear of drawing, management of drawing, and/or how to introduce sketchnoting to students prevents many teachers from including sketchnoting in their practice. This workshop defines sketchnoting, provides a framework for introducing sketchnoting to students, utilizes tips and tricks for drawing with students, and engages participants in hands-on activities.
Each educator training includes copy of grade-level arts-integrated curriculum, how to unpack the curriculum, arts integration training, elements and principles of art overview, and time to make-and-take projects from the curriculum.

Join us for an exciting and engaging night of hands-on STEAM learning. Utilizing STEAM in the classroom is an amazing way to rigorously teach students about the intersection and interrelation of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math. This workshop focuses on defining and identifying STEAM learning, how to source quality STEAM projects, and engages participants through hand-on STEAM projects. Attendees will receive copies of lesson plans used for the hand-on portions of the workshop. All lessons align to VAPA and CCSS Standards.

Join us for an exciting and engaging night of arts integration and arts making! This workshop, inspired by the spring season, focuses on integrating elements of spring, and books about spring into classroom curricula and the visual arts. Attendees will participate in the making of four full arts projects (new projects from previous year) and will receive lesson plans for four projects. Provided lesson plans align to VAPA and CCSS Standards.
This module will assist participants in building a shared language and understanding of support for a site-wide vision of equity in science emphasizing on the understanding of implementation of NGSS at the site through the lens of equity, inclusion and "NGSS for all."
