Under LCFF Priority 2 and 6, JMCS reports progress toward full implementation of state academic standards and describes significant professional learning around equitable, culturally relevant, and rigorous instruction. They have revised course outlines, piloted curriculum for EL students, and are using survey and internal testing data to identify professional learning needs and support teachers on standards not yet mastered. They also emphasize ongoing PD on culturally responsive teaching, linguistic diversity, and maintaining equitable learning environments, including anti-racist practice and civic engagement.This underscores a continuing need for high-quality, data-informed PD design, coaching, and possibly online PD platforms tailored to alternative high school contexts. Vendors providing standards-aligned professional development, instructional coaching, and equity-focused training could support JMCS as they move from initial implementation toward sustained practice.

They actively use survey and internal testing data to guide PD, indicating openness to data-informed PD planning and possibly analytics tools.
