CRA educators will have the opportunity to work in a collaborative and supportive learning environment.

• CRA supports the professional development of teachers through job embedded PLC's weekly staff meetings, as well as workshops, retreats and learning institutes.
• Teachers plan, create and implement curriculum as a team to best meet the needs and interests of students. 
• Teachers also meet to participate in a school-wide PLC, cross-grade planning; teachers and schools leaders examine and continuously re-evaluate the scope and sequence of the curriculum.
• Teachers and administrators work collaboratively on school governance and curriculum review.
• Teachers collaborate to design curriculum for social, emotional and academic competence, challenging students to work to their fullest potential.
• Interdisciplinary instruction creates a framework where students can approach new and challenging content and real-life situations with confidence.
• Students learn the skills of conflict resolution and participate in advisory groups to build social competency.
