Through powerful teaching and learning, shared leadership, expanded learning opportunities, and integrated supports for health and wellness, the EMPOWER Summit celebrates bold, forward-thinking approaches grounded in California’s Community Schools Fundamentals. We encourage diverse, co-designed proposals that showcase real-world strategies and invite school site teams to share their transformative work.
