What is LAPDS?

WestEd's Local Accountability Professional Development Series (LAPDS) helps teachers and administrators create and implement research-based standards, assessment, and interventions for a comprehensive local accountability system. This system allows you to tailor curriculum to quickly and effectively boost performance — ensuring that all students meet state and federal requirements.

Common Core Support Services For Districts And Schools

For more than eight years, WestEd’s Local Accountability Professional Development Series (LAPDS) has offered training services that can be customized to meet the accountability needs of school districts as well as individual schools.

Is Your District Or School Ready For The Transition To Common Core Standards?

• Have you taken immediate steps to prepare your teachers and students for the new expectations of the common core?

• Have you provided your students with the curriculum needed in earlier grades to be successful with the new standards?

• Have you identified the gaps in knowledge and skills students must master to succeed with the new performance measures?

• Have you revised your balanced assessment approach to measure student mastery?

Our training programs are based on research in mastery learning theory and the alignment of curriculum, lesson planning, instruction, and assessment to provide students with specific, immediate feedback and multiple opportunities to demonstrate mastery of the academic standards at proficient and advanced performance levels.

West of the Mississippi, the program is delivered by WestEd's Comprehensive School Assistance Program. East of the Mississippi, the services are delivered by WestEd's Learning Innovations.
