Regional Institutes

CalSTAT began supporting regional institutes in 2002 and has approximately 17 contractors to date. Starting in 2008 CalSTAT will support 5 regional institutes that will be identified through a competitive Request for Application process. CalSTAT maintains a calendar of regional institutes offered throughout the state that is consistently updated to reflect the most current schedule of events. Those interested in attending a regional institute can contact the institute contractor for more information. Please visit the Regional Institute host-site webpages for more information about each Regional Institute regional institute web pages. Please contact the host site team leader for more information about specific Regional Institute. The regional institute event calendar will be available in June 2008. 

A regional institute is a locally sponsored professional development opportunity that is based on the following outcomes:

• Create an ongoing learning community
• Sustain and expand systems change efforts
• Encourage and support meaningful family involvement
• Expand the capacity of attending school-site teams
• Identify and share successful practices

These outcomes are supported by a set of guiding principals that inform the design and delivery of the institute that include:

• Adopt a whole system approach
• Build connections over time
• Emphasize shared leadership and capacity building
• Deliver high priority school-focused content and broader, process-focused content

Regional institute host sites provide institutes at the regional or local level. The site receives technical assistance and coaching from CalSTAT on how to incorporate the guiding principals to achieve the desired outcomes.
