Peer Learning Exchanges
The California Center for School Climate (CCSC), a California Department of Education initiative operated by WestEd, provides free support and trainings on school climate and data use to local education agencies in California.
CCSC hosts monthly peer learning exchanges to advance the knowledge and application of school climate initiatives such as trauma-informed practices, social emotional learning, restorative practices, and wellbeing. Each session will focus on a specific topic based on participant feedback and will provide an opportunity for LEAs across California to connect with and learn from each other as they use data to inform and implement these whole-person initiatives. Participants can expect to engage in small-group discussions and leave with actionable insights.
