For Parents

Professional Development School

Campus Canyon College Preparatory Academy has enjoyed a partnership with California Lutheran University (CLU) in Thousand Oaks since 2011.  Over the years, Campus Canyon has benefited from having full time and beginning student teachers from CLU's Graduate School of Education in our classrooms. working with our Campus Canyon teachers.

A Professional Development School is an innovative relationship that provides benefits to both partners. CLU students and professors will benefit from having a school site readily available for observation, participation in activities, and hands-on learning. Campus Canyon teachers become adjunct CLU professors, providing opportunities to demonstrate a variety of techniques, procedures, and philosophies. This partnership ultimately benefits each child at Campus Canyon by providing high-quality learning experiences and a higher student to adult ratio in many classrooms. 

A steering committee comprised of educators from Moorpark Unified School District, CLU personnel, Campus Canyon parents, and student teachers from the program, meet throughout the year to review and assess the program to make sure that it is running smoothly.

We are very excited about our PDS relationship with CLU and look forward to its continued success at Campus Canyon College Preparatory Academy!
