For Educators : Staff Development Philosophy

Learning Community Charter School is committed to providing scientifically research-based staff development experiences for teachers to ensure the continuous challenging improvement of instruction and curriculum. LCCS encourages teachers to become life-long learners who value and are committed to learning.

The school supports the intellectual growth of the staff by encouraging teachers to attend professional meetings during the school year and in the summer months. Learning Community is a member of several professional organizations such as: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics; Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development; and National Middle School Association.

Teachers share staff development experiences in a newsletter entitled Let's Teach! Each staff member writes several articles during the course of the school year documenting their staff development experiences, new teaching methodology or best instructional practices. It also is an opportunity for teachers to publish their writing. Let's Teach! is a way for the staff to share and learn from each other. Copies of Let's Teach! newsletters can be found in the above link.
