The UC Irvine School of Education Teacher Academy and California Subject Matter Projects welcomed 53 educators and leaders from 15 school districts for this year’s Partnership Appreciation Breakfast, a morning dedicated to celebrating collaboration and shared commitment to teacher and student success.

Guests took part in thoughtful conversations on professional learning goals, with a featured presentation on sense-making that sparked rich discussion about how districts are supporting instructional growth. The morning also included special partnership awards recognizing exemplary district collaborations and their impact across the region.

Thank you to all who joined us and continue to partner with UCI to advance high-quality teaching and learning in our communities.
