CalSTAT Techincal Assitance and Training

Regional Institute

For the past eight years, CalSTAT has selected 58 local education agencies including school site teams, county offices of education, or district site teams that have delivered 180 distinct events to over 13,000 participants. These selected sites become members of the CalSTAT Leadership Community and serve as Regional Institute providers. 

CalSTAT selects 10 Regional Institute Sites each year that are identified through a competitive Request for Application process. Sites selected in 2011 receive $18,100. Regional Institute Host Sites provide institutes at the regional or local level. An institute is a two-day conference that also offers four days of follow up learning over time. The content of the institute must concentrate on one or more of the five CalSTAT Core Message Areas.

What makes an Institute unique is the guiding principles that inform its design and delivery of information. Applicants must demonstrate how their design accomplishes the following:

  • Adopts a whole system approach focused on the region
  • Builds connections over time
  • Emphasizes shared leadership and capacity building
  • Delivers high priority school-focused content aligned with identified State Performance Plan (SPP) indicators for the region. Visit http:www.cde.ca.gov/sp/se/qa/documents/consolspp.doc

These guiding principals are aimed towards a set of desired outcomes that applicants strive to deliver. They include:

  • Expand the capacity of attending school-site teams to improve academic outcomes for all students.
  • Identify and share successful and evidence-based practices that improve student outcomes.
  • Create an ongoing learning community
  • Sustain and expand systems change efforts to close the achievement gap.
  • Encourage and support meaningful family involvement
