Dates
2025–26 cohorts will kick off in October 2025 and will last through June 2026 (most work is conducted asynchronously, but LDC will work with participants to schedule all synchronous Zoom meetings based on availability).Time Commitment
This professional development opportunity requires approximately 16 hours of each teacher’s time over the course of the school year outside of their classroom activities (teachers will, of course, spend normal classroom time implementing two LCL curricular modules, in addition to preparing for implementation and scoring student work resulting from the implementations). Here is a breakdown of the time commitment:- 2 hours (early Fall 2025): LCL Onboarding online/asynchronous professional learning experience
- 1.5 hours (early Fall 2025): LCL Virtual Meeting #1 (via Zoom)
- 1.5 hours (Fall 2025): LCL Virtual Meeting #2 (via Zoom)
- 5 hours (Fall 2025 / Winter 2026): LCL Instructional Cycle #1: engaging in online/asynchronous experiences before, during, and after teaching an LCL curricular module
- 1.5 hours (Winter 2026): LCL Virtual Meeting #3 (via Zoom)
- 3 hours (Spring 2026): LCL Instructional Cycle #2: engaging in online/asynchronous experiences before, during, and after teaching an LCL curricular module
- 1.5 hours (Spring 2026): LCL Virtual Meeting #4 (via Zoom)
