Building an Instructional Toolkit

Workshops focus on the resources and techniques educators need to engage students and improve academic achievement using practical, tactile, and real-world strategies. Get inspired with content that addresses the challenges you face in your classroom every day.

Community Schools: Authentic Involvement

These workshops explore how to strengthen and sustain authentic community schools that support the whole child. Explore the key elements and strategies that are driving successful community school efforts across the state and beyond. Learn how to build the infrastructure and partnerships needed to ensure that community schools thrive—not just as an administrative model, but as a transformative approach that deeply engages families, caregivers, and the community at every level.

Personal Growth and Empowerment

These workshops encourage personal and professional learning, reflection, and advocacy to make you a stronger, more confident educator. Expect strategies, resources, and expert advice at each session.

Self-Care and Trauma-Aware Classrooms

These are stressful times. Our students need trauma-informed educators now more than ever—learn how you can bring this gift to your classrooms. We can best help our students when we know how to care for ourselves. Learn more about caring for ourselves and supporting students during this difficult time.

Social Justice in Our Schools

These workshops focus on cultivating a culture of equity, safety, and social-emotional learning in the classroom and other education settings. Learn what it means to be an anti-racist educator, to have courageous conversations about race, and to use the power of community to fight racism.

Technology in Our Profession

These workshops will help education professionals get and stay current with technology and how it affects our students and our work.
