Resources
LACES maintains extensive resources in a variety of media that support the schools' work in the Four Focus Areas of School Design & Culture, Classroom Practice, Leadership, and Community Connections. These are available through reprint, loan, and web links to individuals and participating schools.
LACES Coaches offer a variety of specializations: inclusion strategies, organizational growth and leadership facilitation, integrated curriculums, community organizing, and strategic planning skills, in addition to their educational experience. A cadre of LACES consultants is also available to schools.
Resources of both the CES National (case studies, research reports, exemplars, faculty in Essential Schools across the country) and regional schools (exemplary work, places to visit, colleagues to call) are available to members as the information clearinghouse at the Center and on-line.
LACES works collaboratively with a variety of organizations who have developed extensive expertise in specialized areas. See the list under Collaborative Organizations.
