Education/Training - Los Angeles, CA, US
The UCLA Center for the Transformation of Schools (CTS) has been designed to serve as a thought partner for districts, counties and states to pursue whole child, whole community approaches to school system improvement. The research we undertake is intended to help educational leaders figure out how to implement strategies that place a commitment to equity at the center of their work. We do this by moving beyond outdated approaches to education reform that tinker with the operation of schools but do little to alter the deeply entrenched disparities in performance. Our goal is to encourage comprehensive approaches to education that foster positive, healthy learning environments, and treat youth development and wellness as integral to the mission of preparing and inspiring future generations. We are proudly housed in the UCLA School of Education and Information Studies.
