   History behind LSS

The Advanced Technologies for Learning (ATL) Laboratory at LSS is providing technical and instructional leadership to the educational community of the mid-Atlantic region in taking full advantage of emergent technologies for learning. ATL's multimedia and telecommunications center supports on-site, off-site, and on-line activity through which K-12 educators, administrators, and other community members can explore and evaluate practices and policies for technology integration, develop relevant skills and educational strategies, and create technology-enriched resources for promoting student achievement.

Community for Learning (CFL) is a comprehensive school reform program that draws on over two decades of research on what makes schools work and what helps each student learn, even for those children who are faced with some of the most challenging circumstances. CFL builds on the strengths of diverse communities by redeploying existing resources and professional expertise to achieve the most positive impact on children's development and educational success. A centerpiece of the CFL program is an integrated design framework for a collaborative process of finding ways to sustain a high standard of academic achievement for each student.
