Initiatives & Projects
The Teacher Advisory Council has two prioritized areas of focus for the 2026-2027 school year:
Shared Professional Learning
The Teacher Advisory Council helps create professional learning focused on improving student outcomes, with teachers identifying and leading the learning that matters most for their students, classrooms, and school communities.
Across LLN schools, TAC members will support and highlight:
Teacher-led professional learning through conferences, workshops, and school-based learning opportunities
Book studies and collaborative learning experiences that inspire reflection, new ideas, and action
Sharing promising practices rooted in what teachers know works best for students
Cross-school collaboration that connects educators and builds collective expertise across the LLN
By putting teachers at the center of professional learning, TAC creates opportunities for great ideas to grow, travel across schools, and ultimately make a greater difference for students.

Innovation Awareness
The Teacher Advisory Council helps bring innovation to life by elevating teacher voice, sharing promising practices, and celebrating what is working across LLN schools.
Throughout the 2026–27 school year, TAC members will use school-based communication, and TAC events to highlight:
Teacher-led models for success that empower educators to design solutions that meet the needs of their students and communities
Innovative practices that strengthen student achievement and expand opportunities for all learners
Creative approaches to teaching, staffing, professional learning, and student support made possible through innovation
Stories of impact and success that showcase the talent, leadership, and ingenuity of LLN teachers and schools
At its core, innovation is about creating the conditions for great ideas to grow—and giving educators the flexibility, voice, and opportunity to turn those ideas into better experiences and outcomes for students.
