During their SAC training, educators work together in Learning Teams, studying and implementing the best practices of a standards-led classroom. SAC training helps teachers determine clear and appropriate learning targets based upon the state educational standards.

Another unique aspect of SAC is its coaching component. Educational consultants provided by local offices of education meet with the Learning Teams on an ongoing basis to provide support and guidance.

Teachers are also able to enhance their learning through action research in the classroom, where students are deeply involved in the assessment process.

CPDU’s, Graduate level credit, and Administrators’ Academy Credit are available for educators who take advantage of the SAC program.

“Networking and peer advisory was a tremendous benefit. The team model was highly praised because it afforded teachers the opportunity to learn from each other, which is an opportunity they rarely get.”
– Vince Hughes, Principal, Highland Middle School
