The Instructional Leadership Program is dedicated to increasing diversity within the teaching profession and supporting excellent teacher candidates. We celebrate African American teachers and social justice educators!

Bessie Bruington Burke was the first African American teacher and principal in L.A. public schools. She earned her teaching certificate in 1911 from the Los Angeles Normal School, now UCLA, where she graduated at the top of her class. She served the community in the many organizations including the YWCA, the NAACP, and as a member of Delta Sigma Theta sorority. We honor Black teachers and teachers who effectively teach Black students in her name.

We offer two opportunities for current and future educators:
