Learning
These are the central values upon which Edison's culture is built. Teachers and staff model these values in their interactions with students and with each other, and reward students when they demonstrate these values through their words and actions.
Edison's Staff
Edison serves a student population of about 500 students. Edison's teaching staff is comprised of 19 highly-qualified classroom teachers (TK-5th), all of whom are assigned to teach within their credentialed area. Class sizes for transitional kindergarten through grade five average 27 students per class. Teachers and students are supported by numerous others, including Reading, Math, and English Language Learning (ELL) intervention specialists, Special Education teachers and para-educators, the Autism Spectrum Services and Inclusion Support Torrance Team (ASSISTT), Speech Pathologists, a music teacher, P.E. teachers, and an incredibly dedicated support staff. Teachers and auxiliary personnel are evaluated by the school principal on a regular basis.
