Our Mission
our Mission
UCLA SMP is a non-profit school reform initiative that is committed to the sustainable transformation of public schools into learner-centered organizations where all students can achieve at high levels. Our professional development team of practitioners has partnered with over 800 public schools since 1992, working with educators, administrators, and community members to improve student achievement by fostering well-managed schools where professional development enhances teacher effectiveness, builds community, and results in personal transformation.

Our model of school improvement planning involves developing a deep understanding of the unique needs of the district or school site and providing sound tools and processes that can be employed to support the continuous improvement of both the individual and the organization.

A second office in the Northeast Region of the country was opened in January 2006 to provide the same high level of school improvement programs for urban and rural schools on the eastern coast.
