Overview
The Graduate School of Education at the University of California, Berkeley is home to a diverse group of students and faculty with a common interest in improving education. The grantee will work with the Hayward Unified School District and the Reach Institute for School Leadership to help educators adopt teaching practices designed to deepen the rigor of instruction across a school district. By documenting the process, this work will both benefit similar school districts that lack the attributes of effective teaching, and inform the spread of innovative practices.
