Laeps transform schools initiative ensures students graduate ready for college and career by partnering to implement humanitas interdisciplinary common core instruction, teacher collaboration, and the community schools model. Laep supports partners and networks across la unified which enroll more than 16,000 students with 655 teachers in 32 schools on 19 lausd campuses. Nine of laeps partner schools are teacher-led pilot schools, which have charter-like autonomies. Our partner schools feature rigorous academics and career themes that engage students with real-world learning. Laeps professional development is grounded in inquiry and reflection, participant-driven, encourages sharing knowledge through coaching and across educator networks to foster rigor and high-performance. Our model seeks to produce self-directed persons with the capacity for high performance, both independently and as members of the community. Laeps professional development improves the knowledge, instructional skills and methods of teachers in all the core academic subjects. We engage teachers in using data to address the individual learning needs of students and further the instructional mission of the school. Teachers collaborate to develop formative and summative assessments that improve the quality of teaching and learning.
