Teach Plus
Project Title
For project support for Teacher-Led Engaged Families & Communities Pilot Program
Date
Jun. 09, 2022
Duration
12 months
Description
America’s talented teachers are uniquely positioned to understand the intersection of student needs, the effects of policy decisions on schools and students, and the importance of connections to parents and to the communities in which students live. They are also trusted by their peers, policymakers and the public. Teacher leaders who are well-informed, persuasive and prepared to lead can become compelling communicators and agents of change for the future of the education system. However, there are not always strong supports built into schools or clear pathways in the teaching profession to enable teachers to play this role. Since its founding in 2009, Teach Plus has set out to engage and elevate teachers to lead change in school, district, state and national education systems and policies. With support from the Corporation, they will launch the Engaged Families & Communities Pilot, in which teacher leaders will prove a new relationship with families and communities is possible and will show the steps needed to achieve it. Teach Plus’ Program and Evaluation teams will oversee the adaptation of program materials, continually monitoring progress and ultimately codifying a program model that can be replicated and scaled.

With support from the Corporation, Teach Plus will launch The Phoenix Project: Reimagining Teaching and Learning, designed to engage teachers, families, students, and ultimately, policymakers in support of a reimagined educational system that is high quality and more equitable than ever before. By using design thinking, Teach Plus will engage the expertise of educators to build a vision that is more effective and responsive to community needs.

Teacher leaders who are well-informed, persuasive and prepared to lead can become compelling communicators and agents of change for the future of the education system. However, there are not always strong supports built into schools or clear pathways in the teaching profession to enable teachers to play this role. Since its founding in 2009, Teach Plus has set out to engage and elevate teachers to lead change in school, district, state and national education systems and policies. They do this in two ways: (1) organizing and amplifying the knowledge and leadership of teachers who know what works to educate the public and inform policy at all levels; and (2) training and empowering the country’s most talented teachers to lead their peers in implementing these policies effectively and in building the knowledge base of what works in schools. This grant is for general support.
