LRCE's Why

Our Theory of Teacher Training

Ensure all students in Louisiana have access to an equitable education through champion teachers.

As a teacher training organization, we focus on making sure teachers have the knowledge, skills, and mindsets necessary to drive toward creating a classroom community that we believe is best for all students and leads to educational equity. We believe that all students should experience a safe and supportive learning environment led by student-centered, reflective teachers who focus on grade-appropriate student outcomes using culturally competent and scientific pedagogy. Practitioners learn how to create such a community through our interdependent, core coursework and individualized feedback and coaching. We model the best practices of teaching to ensure that our practitioners, like their future students, commit their learning to long-term memory and have the skills to be independently successful.

Testimonials

Be A Champion Teacher

"I want to become a 'Champion Teacher' so that I can help my students to achieve their fullest academic potential in a way that I can use my abilities and strengthen my insecurities, all while helping my students to overcome and strengthen their weaknesses at the same time."

Candace B., Summer 2020

Be A Champion Teacher

"I want to become a champion teacher because there are many students who feel discouraged about themselves, and as a teacher, I want to help lift each student up in becoming successful in their education."

David S., Fall 2018

Be A Champion Teacher

"I would love to become a champion teacher to help mold our future. I have experienced, with my own son, the lack of motivation with schooling. He hates school and I think it is because of his early experiences of being labeled and singled out. That breaks my heart, I want to be the one driving force that motivates my students to come to school."

Dorothy L., Summer 2019

Be A Champion Teacher

"I want to become a teacher because I want to be a part of the betterment of the future. Children come from different backgrounds, and all deserve the same opportunities. I want my students to grow and to be able to share this drive with others, creating a chain of positivity and personal worth."

Steven K., Summer 2018
