CALSA Summer Institute 2019

As the inequality in education for low- vs. high-income students continues to perpetuate cyclical poverty, we must disrupt patterns of inequity by equipping our teachers with more than academic tool-kits and build their social and emotional capacity so they can model and effectively develop the SEL of their students. The Leader in Me approach targets a persistent driver of the equity gap: the limiting paradigms of low-SES students and their teachers. During this high-energy, interactive session, we will engage in meaningful discussion focused on how to disrupt patterns of inequity and create a holistic approach to developing the social and emotional leadership of students and staff.  A local educator (Tobie Pace) will share how that system has helped empower EL students and assisted in closing the achievement gap at her school.
