LUA is building our teacher leadership team as we work toward becoming a fully Teacher Professional Practice (TPP). We believe teachers are the most important decision-makers in a school because they are in the classrooms building relationships with students and observing their daily needs. All decisions at Level Up Academy whether made by our school board, director, or teachers are based on what is best for our students.

Teacher - Powered
Across the country, a growing number of educators are transforming student learning and the teaching profession in inspiring new ways through teacher-powered schools.
These teacher teams have secured autonomy to design and run schools. They make the decisions in areas influencing school success such as curriculum, budget, selecting personnel, and more. In addition to whole schools, teachers can run a department or program within a school as, for example, a “teacher-powered math department.”
In teacher-powered schools, teachers have greater ability to make the dramatic changes that they determine are needed to truly improve student learning and the teaching profession—changes such as:
Personalizing learning for both students and teachers
Addressing “teacher quality” issues by making teaching a more attractive job and career
Increasing the sense of ownership—and accountability—among teachers, in areas where they have authority to make decisions
Collaborating with administrators to boost student achievement and advance authentic assessment
What’s more, a recent national survey shows the public is more than ready to give these teachers the authority to make these changes.
There are more than 120 teacher-powered public schools spanning at least 19 states, serving students from preschool to age 21, in urban, suburban, and rural settings. Some operate within school districts and others operate as charter schools. Some have union-affiliated teachers while others do not. They are supported by leaders on all sides of today’s major education debates. As a result, they rise above the usual conflicts that can exist between districts, charters, unions, and government.
Teacher-powered schools are about fulfilling one of the nation’s greatest responsibilities: preparing the next generation of young people to reach their full potential, contribute to their communities, and participate in a 21st century global economy. Public education needs innovation and transformation to fulfill this responsibility. Teacher-powered schools enable teachers, those who work closest with students, to be the driving force behind this change. Click the link below to learn more.
