Teacher-to-Teacher Training Corps: Deadline for Applications — Monday, October 10

The US Department of Education has announced the formation of the Teacher-to-Teacher Training Corps. The Corps will consist of effective teachers and practitioners who will provide on-site technical assistance and regional workshops for teachers and districts over the next twelve months. This team is an expansion of the Teacher-to-Teacher Workshops that have been offered in cities across the nation for the past two summers.

We are looking for teachers and school leaders who are using scientifically based research strategies and have data to demonstrate effectiveness. Trainers will share the research underlying these practices and their experience with implementing them in classrooms and schools. The goal of the Teacher-to-Teacher Training Corps is to support district level professional development efforts by providing demonstrations by expert teachers and administrators of ways to improve academic performance through increased content knowledge and improved pedagogical skill.
