The Best of Both Worlds—the Power of Local Community Backed by a National Framework
Our program has trained over 38,000 diverse and talented teachers through 36 programs across 25 states, partnering with local school districts and charter organizations. Our programs are rooted in the local communities where we work. Our Fellows teach local students in local classrooms and learn from local teachers and leaders, while receiving training based on a national framework that has been proven effective for over 20 years. Our training model is both proven and innovative because we regularly review the latest data and feedback from students and teachers to refine our programming.
