Since 1999, Cal Coast Academy has been dedicated to helping students struggling from mild learning, social, and cognitive disabilities such as Asperger syndrome, dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, autism, anxiety, and depression. However, we do not limit our student population to just those with challenges, we also welcome International students from third world countries, military-connected children, students who have been negatively impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and social media influences, and students who have not succeeded in other private and public schools because their teachers couldn’t adequately individualize their learning experience due to the large class sizes. The faculty at Cal Coast Academy are collectively devoted to delivering customized learning that meets the individualistic and holistic needs of every student. They sway away from the lecture-directed, textbook-driven, antiquated approach to learning. Instead, they allow students the opportunity to stimulate one another’s powers of thought through co-active learning. By removing the traditional “one-size-fits-all” approach to education, Cal Cost Academy is essentially bridging the gap between can’t and can and breaking through barriers that prevent students from reaching their true potential.

School Counselors work under three domains: Academic, College/ Career and Social Emotional. One of my most requested professional development trainings is “Enhancing The Social-Emotional Support For Students”. Counselors are always pleasantly surprised by the end of this training because it allows them to be seen and feel good about the way they will continue to support their student’s social-emotional needs. Counselors leave feeling hopeful in continuing to support all students in their school. It is easy to lean toward the academic and college/ career domain if you are in a middle or high school. School counselors provide so much social-emotional support for students but it is often just 1:1 or crisis counseling and may not be happening as often as the other two domains. If you are noticing your school counselors are operating more in the academic and college/ career domains, let’s connect so that we can support your counselors in enhancing their social emotional support for students.

What Is Adult Education? Adult education offers a lifeline to adults who need to build essential skills to succeed in life and work. It’s more than just going back to school—it’s about opening doors for people who may not have had access to these opportunities before. Imagine trying to find a job without strong reading or math skills or navigating life in a country where you don’t speak the language. For millions of adults, these are everyday challenges. In Louisiana, nearly 1 million adults struggle with literacy or math skills. Adult education helps them overcome these barriers, whether by improving basic skills, earning a high school diploma, or developing the career-ready skills needed for a good-paying job. WorkReady U is Louisiana's comprehensive adult education network, helping adults across the state gain the skills they need to succeed. Through programs supported by the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA), adults can improve their reading, writing, and math skills, learn English, or earn a high school equivalency diploma. WorkReady U also helps parents gain the skills to support their children’s education and offers programs for incarcerated individuals to prepare them for life after prison. Adult education isn’t just about individual growth—it strengthens entire communities by helping more people join the workforce, support their families, and participate in civic life.

Registered Apprenticeship national Expert, Retired US Naval Officer, Retired Federal and State Government official.
As apprentices, aspiring teachers could observe and learn how the veterans handle unruly students, constant interruptions, unhappy parents, broken copy machines, dismissive administrators, and rained-out recess. Gradually, the mentor could hand over tasks and responsibilities over the year to allow the apprentice to apply some of the learned techniques. Another complaint I often hear from teachers is that the classes they took in their education programs needed more useful information. Rather than teaching them about pedagogy or ensuring they had a solid understanding of the content they would be teaching, many of their classes focused on courses like child psychology, social foundations of education, and educational philosophy. While it might be interesting for educators to know about these topics, it is not necessary to become effective teachers.
