The Sonoma County Office of Education Teacher Leadership Series is a two-year program comprised of four distinct courses designed to offer teacher leaders relevant, job-embedded knowledge and skills with greater depth and coherence than a professional development workshop can typically provide.
The program consists of 120 hours of instruction in four semester-long modules and a culminating capstone experience designed to address a compelling problem of practice in a teacher leader’s own educational context (a minimum of 20 hours of independent implementation work; no credit included in calculation; see Attachment1). Courses meet four times over a semester for intensive two-day classes and typically meet over weekends (Friday evenings & Saturdays) to allow program participants flexibility in meeting the demands of the school week. The two-day class design emphasizes meaningful shared experiences that intentionally cultivate a learning community and respond to the unique needs of adult learners and professionals.
