Curriculum & Instruction

The Curriculum and Instruction Division is offering K–12 educators a variety of professional learning sessions from August 5–7, 2026, at the South San Francisco Conference Center. Participants will receive extended pay, and registration is required for individual sessions due to limited space.

Did you know that you can earn salary credits for professional learning time that is outside of your contract day and not compensated by extended hours or your 18 hours? The Office of Professional Growth and Development asks that you read the following process and submit any requests for CEU for pre-approval. This process is also a way for you to keep track of any and all professional learning activities once they are approved as eligible for continuing education units.

Join us August 5–7, 2026, at the South San Francisco Conference Center for professional learning opportunities offered across the Curriculum and Instruction Division. Participants will receive up to 6 hours of extended pay per day based on attendance.

Registration is required for each session. Please visit the Summer Institute landing page for session descriptions and registration information.
