New and Improved Leadership Groups

We’ve changed the format of our content-specific Leadership Groups. Now you’ll take an even more active role in our monthly after-school meetings.

Using a teacher replay protocol, a participating teacher-leader will present a written scenario, video, student work sample, or issue for the group to discuss and think through together during each session, uncovering new resources, perspectives, strategies, and more that everyone can take back to their schools.

Teachers who are ready to grow in their understanding and practice of inquiry-based teaching and learning as well as to serve as leaders in math or literacy—both inside their buildings and within the Partnership’s larger community of educators—are encouraged to apply.
