Teacher-to-Teacher ...What's Next?
The U.S. Department of Education Summer Workshops Tour is now over, but the Teacher-to-Teacher Initiative is just hitting its stride! Due to positive feedback and tremendous demand, U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige has decided to provide additional workshops this fall. The schedule is as follows:
- Oct. 9 - Bentonville, Arkansas
- Oct. 16 - Wheeling, West Virginia
- Oct. 23 - Redmond, Washington
- Nov. 6 - Madison, Wisconsin
Summer Workshop Follow-Up
Many teachers were not able to attend our summer workshops, but that does not mean they have missed out. Eleven of the sessions from the workshops will be available online. Currently two of the 11 video courses are available free of charge so teachers throughout the country can receive on-demand professional development. The sessions will increase teachers' content knowledge and teaching skills for improving student achievement in reading, mathematics and science. Additional sessions will be filmed and added during the month of October and throughout the fall.

And There's More
Right now we are planning for next summer's Teacher-to-Teacher Workshops. These will be held in San Francisco, Washington, DC, Phoenix, Cleveland, Tampa, Fla., and Minneapolis. Watch for announcements about presentations and registration.
