Partnership for Los Angeles Schools

The Partnership for Los Angeles Schools, founded in 2007, is dedicated to transforming education within some of the most underserved communities in Los Angeles. With a mission to empower all students through high-quality education, the Partnership focuses on dramatically accelerating student achievement in 20 of the highest-need schools within the Los Angeles Unified School District. Concentrated in areas such as Watts, South LA, and Boyle Heights, these K-12 public schools are at the forefront of innovative educational reform. The Partnership employs a comprehensive school transformation model that integrates three key components: Great Leaders, Highly-Effective Teaching, and Engaged & Empowered Communities. Through the Great Leaders initiative, school principals and assistant principals receive targeted professional development, leadership coaching, and guidance to cultivate a shared vision and effective systems within their schools. The Highly-Effective Teaching component provides teacher leaders with integrated professional learning and coaching, fostering strong classroom instruction and peer collaboration. Additionally, the Engaged & Empowered Communities aspect leverages partnerships with over 100 community organizations, empowering families through initiatives like the Parent College program to become proactive advocates for their children's education. For those interested in the teaching staff, the Partnership for Los Angeles Schools maintains a comprehensive teachers list, showcasing the dedicated educators committed to driving student success. By focusing on leadership development, instructional excellence, and community engagement, the Partnership is revolutionizing school systems and ensuring that every student has the opportunity to thrive.
