Transform Schools

Empowered, Liberated Learning Communities

Communities already possess the skills, resources, and insights to address the challenges they face. Through LAEP’s Transform Schools work, we act as partners for educational communities, aligning community resources and school assets, while engaging families to address opportunity gaps and remove barriers to learning. 

This work is made up of three components:

Community Schools 

Weaving together the experience and resources of staff, students, parents, residents, and organizations, we help transform schools into community resource hubs that address systemic inequities and enact liberatory practices. We ensure these educational communities thrive long after our involvement ends by building agency, fostering empowerment, and merging best practices and innovative approaches with a commitment to radical inclusion. We provide both direct service, leading the transformation on campus ourselves, as well as technical assistance to support schools, districts, and counties as they do this work.

Teaching & Learning

LAEP Teaching & Learning Coordinators are both practitioners and thought partners. They: 

  • Collaborate with school leaders to develop rigorous, engaging curriculum
  • Work directly with teachers through observation, feedback, and cognitive coaching
  • Support Instructional Leadership Teams (ILTs) in promoting distributed leadership practices on campus 

Our STEAM Teaching & Learning work integrates STEAM into all aspects of school culture.

Professional Development

Sharing our experience and practice, we offer equity-centered professional development tailored to team and site needs. Subjects range from building cultures of equity and resilience to strategies and systems for improved classroom instruction, teacher collaboration, and family engagement.
