Founded in 1999 as a response to teacher and principal shortages across the state, Governor Davis and the California Legislature mandated the creation of Principal Leadership Institutes at UC Berkeley and UCLA. Berkeley’s Principal Leadership Institute has graduated 619 leaders for justice in 20 years. This celebratory video shares an evening of alumni activities and special commendations from the University of California, Berkeley’s Chancellor Christ, the Dean of the Graduate School of Education, Prudence Carter, and the Program Director of the Principal Leadership Institute, Rebecca Cheung.
