On October 13, 2011, Center X was awarded the UCLA Community Program of the Year Landmark Award
for Partnership work with public schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District and the Partnership for Los Angeles Schools.
Since 2001, UCLA Center X Partnerships have supported schools in Los Angeles Unified School District through professional development and instructional coaching services. Beginning with coaching partnerships in Local District 7 high schools and Local District 3 middle and high schools, UCLA Center X Partnerships developed long lasting, impactful relationships with teachers, administrators, students, and community members in creating successful learning environments for all students.
In 2009, UCLA Center X Partnerships began working with the Partnership for Los Angeles Schools (PLAS), the non-profit organization associated with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa’s office. Through our partnership with PLAS we have provided professional development and instructional coaching services to 15 of the lowest performing schools in the Los Angeles School District in East and South Los Angeles.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: AP READINESS
The AP Readiness Program has provided high quality, rigorous instructional support for Advanced Placement Science and Math students for over 13 years. The program allows students to work with master math and science teachers, who prepare them for the rigorous curriculum that they will face in AP courses. Concurrently, their AP teachers observe and learn from the master instructors, gathering a framework for how to successfully conduct an AP course.
For more information, visit the AP Readiness site.
“There is a great need for programs like this to support the teachers and students in their development and desire to meet a desired level of college readiness.”
- AP Readiness Teacher
The AAPLC supports districts and schools as they work on increasing student achievement for African American students and gives district and site level leaders an opportunity to network with each other. During three sessions throughout the school year we will address cultural and literacy issues affecting African American students for grades K-12.
