INNOVATORS’ INSTITUTE

This workshop equips principals and assistant principals with the knowledge and tools to support high-quality ePathways at RJA. Participants will dive into the use of ePathway Maps as a framework for aligning instruction, industry connections, and student supports with the 12 Essential Elements of a High-Quality Career & College Pathway framework, used by California schools. Learn how to assess program strength, identify areas for growth, and guide teachers in delivering career-connected learning that prepares students for future success. Leaders will leave with practical strategies to ensure ePathways are rigorous, equitable, and aligned to both student interests and workforce demands.

Creating a culture of consistency begins with clearly defined expectations. This workshop supports principals and assistant principals in guiding teachers to establish effective classroom norms, routines, and academic requirements that foster positive behavior, student engagement, and instructional clarity. Participants will explore practical strategies for coaching teachers on setting, modeling, and reinforcing expectations, aligned with schoolwide systems and student success outcomes. Walk away with tools to support teachers in creating learning environments where every student knows what is expected—and is set up to meet those expectations.
