LASARD Project
Building your classroom's capacity to meet the unique needs of diverse learners.
The LASARD staff of experienced educators has supported hundreds of teachers across Louisiana to implement specialized supports that meet the unique needs of their diverse learners.
Our staff know from experience that sitting in a professional development session does not always lead to practice in the classroom, so we pair our training sessions with job-embedded coaching (observation, modeling, and feedback) to support the implementation of the evidence-based practices covered in our trainings.
Why LASARD?
We come to you
We pair our training sessions with in-person, job-embedded coaching to support the implementation of evidence-based practices covered in our trainings.
