We are excited to offer the next statewide NAKIA Academy to certificated educators (teachers and ESAs) across WA. This is a continuation of the partnership between OSPI's BEST program and WEA’s AOC: Early Career Educators where we are currently engaging authentically with 500+ POC member leaders/organizers as they continue to lead, organize, and create equitable spaces for all stakeholders in education around WA. This is not a "program" but a community who is in continuous growth and support.
Application closes Thursday, October 5, 2023.
**There will be regional and local academies open for ESPs across WA starting very soon. Be on the look out from your WEA councils/local or governance.
***All participants who successfully complete the academy receive 20 clock hours from OSPI and a - $500 stipend for their experience.
