The year 2007 marked the 15th anniversary of UCLA SMP, a program launched on November 16, 1992 as a University-based public service initiative designed to become a national management-training center for K-12 educators.
Our 15th year was an important milestone not only for the organization, but also for the 800+ schools that we have partnered with since 1992. With offices in Los Angeles and New England, we continue to provide leadership training and coaching programs to schools and districts.
On November 3, 2007, UCLA SMP culminated a yearlong celebration with a brunch at the Walt Disney Concert Hall attended by over 135 staff, faculty, alumni, clients and supporters. During this celebration, UCLA SMP recognized two schools and two districts for their outstanding accomplishments in improving student achievement and establishing a professional learning community.
