Our Work

District Partnerships

We collaborate with school leaders to develop tailored professional development and signature programming for teachers to implement state policy, frameworks and standards, and to meet LCAP priorities. Our work also includes: curriculum development, materials adoption, and lesson study and PLCs.

Learning Communities

We organize research-based professional development for practicing K-12 teachers that centers teachers’ needs and expertise to create and sustain learning communities. Teachers engage in research and continuous improvement of their instruction in collaboration with colleagues.

Leading Instructional Change

We believe that teachers are the agents of change for improving education for Orange County youth. We build and sustain learning and leadership opportunities through open workshops and district partnerships for educators to inform research and practice that lead to equitable educational outcomes.
