Science Teacher Leader Corps
School District Professional Learning Days: Teacher Leader Corps meetings will be split into morning and afternoon sessions. Teacher Leaders have identified the need to focus on a community of practice in which they can share through the observation of instruction. The mornings at the host school districts will consist of structured peer observation of classroom instruction followed by reflection, discussion and professional learning. The goal is to increase instructional capacity and our ability to support high quality instruction. Afternoon sessions will offer the opportunity for participants to:
- Gain an understanding of the role of the Teacher Leader Corps and how it can benefit you and your school
- Serve as a TLC representative for your district
- Plan regional TLC initiatives and develop resources to bring back to your district.
