Mission:
Our mission is to foster quality and equitable public education for Latino Connecticut students as we seek to inspire, cultivate, develop, and support Hispanic/Latino educational leaders and talent. Acting with urgency, we are committed to supporting the professional growth of Hispanic/Latino talent through professional learning and networking opportunities.
Goals:
- Communicate our purpose and promote collaboration among all stakeholders who support quality and equitable education for Latino students.
- Provide networking opportunities and share best educational practices for educating Latino students successfully in a global economy.
- Develop pathways to increase leadership capacity among diverse educators and students.
- Work cooperatively with other state and national administrative organizations to promote and advocate for quality public education.
The new organization, CALAS- Connecticut Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendents,which is the state chapter of the national organization ALAS, was founded by a group of school leaders from New Haven dedicated to expanding resources and opportunities for Hispanic/Latino educators.
They have partnered with CAS – Connecticut Association of Schools, as they seek to expand their membership and bring their mission to life in CT.
