NEW — Teacher Leadership Fund Feedback Survey
If you would like to give feedback on the process or any aspect of the program, whether you submitted an application or not, please complete this anonymous short survey.
Fall 2018 CURATE Curriculum Fellowship
The Rennie Center and Teach Plus are working with DESE to coordinate a set of three panel conversations this fall focused on curricular alignment and implementation. The panels will focus on early ELA/literacy, elementary ELA/literacy, and middle school math. Applications are live now and will be open through July 30. Panelists will receive a $1,000 stipend and 30 PDPs for participating in the project, and it’s a great opportunity for skill-building on reviewing curricular materials.
NEW — Aspire Mentor Program for Teachers in Years 2-5
The BU Wheelock College of Education invites teachers in years 2-5 to take part in our teacher support mentor program. As part of the non-evaluative program, early career teachers will be matched with mentors to help increase classroom efficacy and retention. This is one way to meet the 50 hour mentoring requirement for professional licensure. See the flyer or contact aspire@bu.edu for more information
