The mission of the Training Corps is to support district-level professional development efforts by providing demonstrations by expert teachers and practitioners of ways to improve academic performance through increased content knowledge and improved pedagogical skill. Participants in the trainings should leave sessions with ready-to-use strategies and an understanding of why and when those strategies are effective. The Training Corps will also support participants through regional workshops, e-mail mentoring, e-Learning presentations, web casts and follow-up visits.
The Teacher-to-Teacher Initiative has been created by and for America's teachers. It supports teachers' efforts in the classroom through professional development workshops and digital workshops and by sharing relevant information through email updates.
Teacher Workshops offer classroom teachers a free opportunity to participate in high-quality professional development designed to provide the classroom support, technical assistance, and increased collaboration needed to assure academic success for all students. Participants will share instructional strategies with prominent teachers from around the country in each content area and for each grade level.
The Training Corps consists of effective teachers and practitioners experienced in scientifically based instruction and who will provide on-site technical assistance and regional workshops for teachers and school district personnel.
American Stars recognizes and honors superior teachers with a track record of improving student achievement, using innovative instructional strategies and making a difference in the lives of their students. Nominate an outstanding teacher for this distinct honor at the Teacher-to-Teacher Initiative’s website.
Teachers can receive electronic updates by signing up on the Teacher-to-Teacher Initiative’s website. These e-bytes share developments in federal education policy; provide links to classroom teaching and learning resources; and communicate information about American Stars, Teacher Workshops and Digital Workshops.
Digital workshops provide educators free access to professional development anytime, anywhere. They model successful classroom teaching strategies and support mastery of academic content combined with classroom application and relevant follow-up activities. Digital Teacher Workshops for Teachers of Native American Students was launched in fall of 2007. Tips for Teachers Podcasts will be available soon.
Department officials host roundtable discussions to meet with teachers representing all communities of educators and to dialog about various issues impacting education today.
