Mission and Strategic Priorities
LFFL Mission Statement: LFFL builds capacity to establish, support, and sustain highly effective professional learning.
Learning Forward Florida began as the Florida Association for Staff Development (FASD). The organization has its roots in the Florida Teacher Education Center Act of 1973. This forward-looking legislation established funding for a model collaborative relationship among teachers, school districts, universities, and the Florida Department of Education (FDOE). The legal name of the organization remains Florida Association for Staff Development, however, we use the name Learning Forward Florida to align with the national organization, Learning Forward.
