Support includes activities for learning more about school leadership and how to sustain a culture of continuous improvement, a NorCal ELC coordinator to advise the team, access to additional tools for change, and opportunities to network with regional colleagues through Communities of Practice. Team Leads will participate in leadership coach training; all participants will attend professional learning activities, a 2-day winter institute, and a 2-day summer institute.
