The Bay Area New Millennium Initiative Toolkit
The members of the Bay Area NMI core team have distinguished themselves as young teacher leaders through participation as “featured teachers” on BetterLesson.org, acting as clinical instructors for the Stanford Teacher Education Program (STEP), and serving as U.S. teacher delegates to Taiwan. The team has focused its efforts on ways in which the teaching profession and school systems can be reimagined to drive increased teaching effectiveness, better retention of the most effective teachers, and sustainable school improvement. Among other recommendations in its forthcoming report, the Bay Area NMI team suggests that districts and states improve the pre-service preparation pipelines for teachers by providing more time for clinical work; support school-level professional development that can be tailored to teachers’ specific needs; and create new career lattices that offer opportunities for teachers to lead and spread their expertise to inform instructional and school policy innovations. For more information or to get involved, contact Alesha Daughtrey.
Teachers in the Bay Area NMI believe that improving teaching quality by better preparing, developing and supporting teachers will increase educational outcomes for their students.
