This is an advanced training program intended to support faculty graduates of the CAP community of practice to lead efforts on their own campuses, including providing professional development to their colleagues and supporting AB 705 implementation. Participants will serve as apprentice leaders in this year’s CAP community of practice to facilitate activities for participating faculty, observe the questions faculty ask and the kinds of activities that help them, share the work they’ve done on their campuses, and develop materials for local trainings.

One faculty member per college is eligible to apply in each discipline (English/ESL). Participants will typically be full-time instructors. If more than one faculty member per discipline is interested, please email us to discuss who should attend. Participants must meet the following criteria:

Have participated in a prior year of the CAP Community of Practice

Be already leading – or planning to lead -- local professional development on high-challenge, high-support pedagogy and AB 705 reforms

Be willing to prepare materials related to your local efforts & share your experience implementing new approaches (e.g navigating local change, building support among colleagues and administration)

Participate in conference calls to prepare for the institute

Be able to participate in the CAP Summer Institute for their cohort and arrive Thursday afternoon (June 25th - the day before regular participating teams).

Through grant funding, we are able to provide this program at no cost. Participants will need to provide for their own travel and hotel expenses and meals that aren’t included in the institutes.
