Coaching

Our coaching model is designed to meet educators where they are — in classrooms, in team meetings, or at the district level. Each coaching cycle includes:

• A goal‑setting conversation to identify strengths, challenges, and priorities

• Classroom observations with targeted, actionable feedback

• In‑class modeling of evidence‑based strategies

• Record reviews and collaborative problem‑solving

• A follow‑up email summarizing key takeaways and next steps

• A reflective debrief to support ongoing growth

Every coaching interaction is tailored, intentional, and grounded in the realities of Louisiana classrooms.

Professional Development

LASARD provides high‑quality, evidence‑based training that equips educators to effectively teach diverse learners. Districts can choose from:

• Basic Sessions – Foundational knowledge and essential practices

• Deeper Dive Sessions – Skill‑building and application

• Training Series – Multi‑session learning that supports long‑term implementation

Most sessions are up to two hours, with half‑day and full‑day options available to meet district needs.

Communities of Practice

Our Communities of Practice (CoP) bring together educators with shared needs for ongoing, collaborative learning. Each session includes:

• A focused content presentation

• A solution‑focused case study discussion

• Practical strategies educators can apply immediately

These conversations lead to real solutions — and stronger professional communities.
