Dear Friends,
I have some exciting news regarding the future of Center for Inspired Teaching!
Beginning in summer 2009, Inspired Teaching will build on its track record of high-quality teacher training and first-hand knowledge of DC Public Schools by preparing, certifying, and supporting exceptional individuals who wish to serve children in the District of Columbia as new public school teachers. In its first year, the 15-month Inspired Teacher Certification Program will transform 30 Inspired Teaching Fellows into Inspired Teachers—pioneering change-makers who champion a student-focused instructional approach to positively impact learning and achievement for all students.
But that’s not all.
By 2011 this program will become a teacher residency model, embedding the Inspired Teacher Certification Program in the first Inspired Teaching School—a groundbreaking teacher and student development center where teachers who are being certified will collaborate with Master Teachers to gain hands-on experience, on-the-ground insight, and individualized support in Inspired Teaching’s philosophy and methodology. In this dynamic setting, accountability and creativity will not be mutually exclusive, but integrated in order to nurture engaged and inquisitive students who think critically, understand information, solve complex problems, and develop the desire and ability to become life-long learners.
If you are interested in learning more about our new initiatives, I encourage you to visit our website at www.inspiredteaching.org. And, if you’d like to learn about sponsorship opportunities for the Inspired Teacher Certification Program, please contact Eneida Alcalde at 202-462-1956 or at eneida@inspiredteaching.org.
As always, thank you for your ongoing support!
Best, Aleta Margolis Executive Director
