For many years, I have worked with the Teachers Network Leadership Institute on behalf of the UFT. It is an extraordinarily worthwhile program, and a truly unique opportunity for teachers to influence the educational policy process. If this is an area of interest for you, now is the time to become involved…
Teachers Network invites you to become a MetLife Fellow in the Teachers Network Leadership Institute (TNLI) for the 2007 – 08 school year. Teachers from the New York City public schools with full-time classroom responsibilities will be selected to join a nationwide teacher network along with current New York City MetLife Fellows in TNLI. We are seeking teachers who would like to take an active role in influencing policy in the following areas:
Teacher Leadership in School Change—the ways in which teachers develop as leaders
Teacher Preparation and New Teacher Induction—the ways in which teachers are educated, recruited, oriented, evaluated, supported, and retained
Ongoing Professional Growth—the means by which teachers engage in professional growth, learning opportunities, and reflection
Teacher Networks—the ways in which teachers connect to other teachers or organizations for the purpose of expanding their learning community
More information about the Teachers Network Leadership Institute and the fellowships can be found here. The application is located here. The application deadline is June 25, 2007.
