As all teachers know, strong teaching practice is essential to achieving the goals. Effective teaching happens when teachers learn together, take risks together, and strive to live and work with growth mindsets. The learning cycle, as outlined in the LEAP handbook and aligned to the LEAP timeline, ensures teachers have opportunities to continue to grow their teaching practice in ways that are timely, personalized and related to their personal goals as well as to school and district goals. Differentiated coaching support is available to teachers from a variety of sources (ie. school leaders, peers, team leads, teacher leaders and support partners) and is aligned to a teacher’s individual needs.
