At LPA, our teachers are heavily involved in making decisions.  Teachers complete three comprehensive feedback surveys each year.  Additionally, teachers and staff collaborate with the leadership team to continuously reflect, problem solve, and plan. To ensure we are leading with our heads and hearts, all staff participate in a wide range of development opportunities.

Professional development:

  • Professional Learning Institute (PLI): an intensive, multi-week professional development experience each summer.
  • Weekly Professional Learning Community (PLC):  regular meetings after school to analyze student data, reflect on effective instructional practices and collaborate to improve instruction.
  • Data and Student Work Analysis: Shared reflection and analysis of individual, classroom, and school-wide data.
  • Focused Instructional Leadership: Developing leadership potential within the classroom over the short- and long-term.
