goal of a school's transformation journey is reaching Powerful
Schooling. A powerful school is one where a unified staff engages
in sustained, intentional work to create a professional culture
where they feel affirmed, supported, and can thrive in their
practice. As a result, educators ensure students experience joy as
they learn and grow, in an environment where students develop a
positive sense of their identity, where student voice is empowered,
where culturally responsive pedagogy and practice is enacted, and
where students and families see the school as a liberative force
within the community. By enacting those things, a powerful school
has high functioning systems, strong student academic performance,
and a robust college-oriented culture.Further, Partnership network
principals are responsible for meeting all obligations as described
in the LA Unified . Leading a school in the Partnership network
means that our principals and their staff have access to our robust
team of support-providers in areas from Literacy and Math
instruction to school operations to family engagement and community
partnerships. You can learn more about our teams !BENEFITS OF
