Professional Learning
Upcoming workshops

Lassen County Office of Education invites teachers to participate in the next session of Essential Practices for Teachers. This professional learning opportunity will focus on two key areas: Focus 1: Review key insights into brain development, learn regulation strategies to support students’ emotional and behavioral needs, and explore approaches for defusing challenging student behaviors. Focus 2: Discover practical tips for leading effective parent-teacher conferences, designed to help build stronger partnerships with families and foster student success. Date: Thursday, October 16, 2025 Time: 3:30 PM – 5:00 PM Location: Lassen County Office of Education Conference Room If distance (30 miles or more from LCOE) presents a barrier to attending, please indicate this on your registration form.

Lassen County teacher leaders are coming together to launch the Lassen County Math Workgroup, a collaborative effort to prepare for the upcoming 2026 Math Curriculum Adoption. This group will focus on reviewing the 2023 California Math Framework, exploring best instructional practices, understanding the research driving instructional shifts, and sharing practical strategies to support effective math teaching. The workgroup will play a key role in shaping the new curriculum while providing opportunities for professional growth. Educators are encouraged to stay tuned for future math-focused professional learning opportunities that will build on this important work.
