Last year NSDC launched the Learning School Alliance and was pleased with the positive response from more than 40 schools. Leadership teams from these schools committed to meeting face-to-face and virtually over a two-year period for the purpose of advancing professional practice and student learning in their schools. They, like you, are committed to implementing the NSDC definition and documenting the impact of intentional collaborative professional learning. NSDC has received new funding from the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations and MetLIfe Foundation to launch the second LSA community. This community is limited to high schools. The funding helps defray some of the costs associated with the two-year program. Overall registration is $3500 per year per school with an expected two-year commitment. Details can be found in this PDF download or at the LSA website. We also invite you to consider sponsoring and participating with a team. We believe this model may offer strategies you will find valuable replicating within your affiliate. Feel free to contact NSDC with your questions. Thank you for your support of this new NSDC initiative.
