The Los Alamitos Unified School District recently promoted its third cohort of teachers who completed a rigorous, five-year professional development program required of all teachers who are hired in the District. The program, which includes teacher training and coaching in the district’s common teaching practices from pre-school through twelfth grade, builds a solid foundation for students, ensures equitable instruction across classrooms and maximizes instructional time.
