Local Connections
Learning Partners Program:
Decreases teacher isolation by providing opportunities to connect with colleagues.
Provides release time to teachers to facilitate inter-departmental collaboration.
Facilitates and supports reciprocal, non-hierarchical peer-mentoring partnerships (both beginner and experienced teachers).

Student Learning & Achievement
“The powerful collaboration that characterizes professional learning communities is a systemic process in which teachers work together to analyze and improve their classroom practice…[which] in turn, leads to higher levels of student achievement”.
–Richard DuFour, Schools As Learning Communities
