Sacramento, California - The 2016 California Educator Excellence Summit will highlight the work of California’s local educational agencies (LEAs) as it relates to Greatness by Design: Supporting Outstanding Teaching to Sustain a Golden State. Our intention is to share promising practices with the larger California education community to support LEAs to make research-aligned decisions regarding how they will spend their share of the $490 million in Educator Excellence funds included in the 2015 State Budget to improve their local professional learning systems.

The Summit will be hosted by the California Department of Education (CDE) in partnership with key California educational stakeholders.

The conference is designed for educators who will participate in building and improving professional learning systems in local educational agencies. Key educators will include County Offices of Education, local educational agency administrators, teachers, local labor representatives, coaches, key parent and community members, professional learning providers, and higher education colleagues who help ensure that all children meet California’s rigorous academic requirements.
