The Learning Collective has been providing technical assistance to schools and non-profits for many years. Some of our work has been assistance with discrete instructional tasks while other assistance can be thought of more broadly as helping the school carry out its strategic plan, or what is known in California as the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP).
