CALSA Summer Institute 2025

Just as strong roots nurture a thriving garden, strong leadership cultivates lasting change in our schools. In this interactive session, discover how Fontana Unified School District is sowing the seeds for a high-quality Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) through a Culturally Responsive Leadership approach.
Our team will share the story of how we developed a principal coaching model, unified Teaching and Learning supports through with a purposeful use of resources, and aligned instructional practices with our districtwide focus areas: Core Instruction, Teacher-Student Clarity, and Active Cognitive Engagement. We’ll reflect on lessons learned along the way — the successes, the challenges, and the unexpected growth — and offer a glimpse into how we are nurturing the next phase of our journey.
Come gather practical tools and inspiration to plant and grow leadership systems in your own district — cultivating a future where each student can flourish.
