The San Gabriel Unified School District, with its focus on providing equitable learning opportunities for all students, is at the forefront of educational reform and committed to ongoing professional development. The District has formed a District-wide Equity Team which attend Beyond Diversity Training, focusing on raising the achievement of all students while narrowing the gap between the highest and lowest performing students and eliminating the racial predictability and disproportion of which student groups occupy the highest and lowest achievement categories. Ongoing professional development encourages collegiality and collective problem solving, innovation and academic excellence. Eligible new teachers participate in the SGVC (San Gabriel Valley Consortium) Induction Program, which provides coaching and training to new teachers based on the California Standards for the Teaching Profession.
