NAKIA Academy and CAMI (Coaching and Mentoring Institute) in Spokane!
NAKIA: Read more and register here.
We are excited to offer the first Spokane NAKIA Academy cohort for Spokane area educators. This is a continuation and expansion of the partnership between OSPI's BEST program, WEA and the addition of the WA State Counselors' Association (WSCA) where we are currently engaging authentically with 700+ POC member leaders/organizers as they continue to lead, organize, and create equitable spaces for all stakeholders in education around WA using coaching and mentoring practices learned in this academy. This academy is for and by BIPOC educators to create a "safe space" for community building and professional learning. This is not a "program" but a community that is in continuous growth and support.
If you are not a BIPOC educator, please consider signing up for the Spokane CAMI (coaching and mentoring institute), which is open to all. More information on CAMI is included below.
This workshop is paid for by your union as a benefit of membership and you earn 24 free clock hours. SPS employees may be able to use this toward PERT hours.
You must be available and attend all 8 in person sessions. These will be held at the SEA office - 230 E Montgomery. Saturdays from 9am -12pm including a free lunch from 12-1pm.
