Inquiry: Why Now?

How can I leverage inquiry-based learning to improve access, opportunity, and inclusion for student populations who have historically been marginalized and underserved?

Fostering a culture of inquiry can support a sustainable quest for continuous improvement that can both redefine the professional role of classroom teachers and substantively improve student learning now and in the future.

A Professional Learning Program for Education Leaders

Leaders for equity transform education to improve access, opportunity, and inclusions for students and adults, especially those who are systemically marginalized and historically underserved, so that they can thrive. In this two-day in-person workshop program, educational leaders (site, district, and county office leaders, as well as teacher leaders) from across California are invited to explore the power and potential of inquiry-based instruction as a tool to promote and support a more equitable future.

We Work With Your Context

  • Customized professional learning. CSLA and CSMP staff will work with local leaders to customize the program to align with local context, topics of interest, and need.

  • Flexible scheduling. CSLA and CSMP leadership will work with local leaders to schedule the professional learning program at a location and time that best fits with local calendars and capacity.

  • Bring your friends and colleagues. Teams of teacher-leaders, site-leaders, and district-leaders, as well as county office of education leaders are encouraged to attend together.
