SUPPORTING THE WHOLE-LEARNER

Advancing collective solutions across education, community and government. Led by LACOE, a community school is both a place and a partnership between the school and other community resources, including government agencies. Its integrated focus on academics, services, supports and opportunities leads to improved student learning, stronger families and healthier communities. The purpose of the LACOE’s Community Schools effort is to build equity for students by highlighting areas of need and leveraging community resources so that students are healthy, prepared for college and career, and civic ready. 

Supporting high-quality teaching and student-centered learning. In partnership with LACOE, the Greater LA Education Foundation has  developed new program elements to elevate, celebrate, and invest in  teachers. Together we will develop a resource hub for strategies and best practices from Teachers of the Year educators, professional learning networks featuring Teachers of the Year honorees, and provide innovation grants available to teachers around LA County focused on student-centered practices. This year, our goal is to expand student-centered digital learning strategies for students that have been the most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Learn more.
