Is your school seeking powerful strategies to advance teacher and student performance?
Do you believe collaborative professional learning, teamwork, and problem solving are keys to school improvement?
Do you have what it takes to be a Learning Forward Learning School?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then apply today to become a member of Learning Forward's Learning School Alliance -- a network of schools committed to improved professional practice and student achievement.
Strengthen school and district culture to focus on educator and student learning;
Initiate, refine, or expand the use of collaborative professional learning within your school;
Explore ways to evaluate the effectiveness of collaboration within your school; and
Develop leaders within your schools to facilitate the transition to a learning school.
Teachers and principals will receive training, coaching, and facilitation to advance their skills in applying the Learning Forward Learning School principles and practices. LSA members will learn together in their own schools, with other schools through webinars and facilitated conversations, and at meetings held at Learning Forward conferences. They will openly share their goals, their progress, and -- over time -- their results.
Just a reminder:
You can use your Title I dollars and other federal sources for the program fee.
A limited number of partial scholarships will be available.
