Seventh Annual Teacher Leadership Institute Preconference: Teacher Documentaries: Changing the Dialogue Around Teaching in America
American Teacher is a compelling documentary that reveals the frustrating realities of today's educators. This film explores the difficulty of attracting talented new teachers and reveals why so many of our best teachers leave the profession feeling under-compensated and under-valued.
Mitchell 20: Teacher Quality is the Answer shares the story of one teacher who set out to change her school. Little did Daniela Robles know she was starting a movement that would inspire others and change schools in Arizona and around the country.
Together, these documentaries provide a compelling canvas to examine contemporary problems and solutions in education. In this two-day preconference, participants will have a chance to view the documentaries and dialogue writers/producers, featured teachers and policy experts focused on the same goal, Changing the Dialogue about Teaching in America.
Keynote speakers, Nineve Calegari, co-writer/producer of American Teacher, and Kathy Wiebke, co-producer of Mitchell 20: Teacher Quality is the Answer will provide intriguing back stories into the lives of the teachers and the powerful work they do.
Afternoon breakout sessions will prompt participants to engage in deep conversations around these five emerging themes.
- Teaching as a Profession
- Finding Teacher Voice
- Conditions for Teaching and Learning
- Teacher Leadership
- Professional Development
Learning each day will conclude with a call to action, providing opportunities for educators to bridge their own learning and determine ways they can step up, speak out, and be the spark for change in their own learning communities.
Seventh Annual Teacher Leadership Institute: TEACHING 2030: The Challenge and Possibilities for School Reform
Teach. Lead. Leverage. Come be a part of a groundbreaking endeavor in Arizona!
The Arizona K12 Center’s Seventh Annual Teacher Leadership Institute will prove to be both powerful and provocative as we join in collaboration with the Center for Teaching Quality (CTQ) and the Arizona TeacherSolutions® Team to reimagine ways that Arizona schools can better serve students and their communities. Join together with other educators around the state to collectively examine current and emergent realities and take a thought-provoking journey into the future of teaching and learning.
Over these 3 days, participants will contribute to the development of a national policy presentation that will provide a state level view of teacher leadership in Arizona.
On Day One, Barnett Berry of CTQ and members of our own Arizona TeacherSolutions® Team, will kick off this exciting leadership event by engaging participants in a vision for transforming teaching into the profession students deserve.
On Day Two, the Arizona TeacherSolutions® Team, made up of twenty Arizona teacher leaders, will facilitate small group discussions and assist participants in developing their own innovative strategies for transforming teaching and learning in Arizona.
On Day Three, ideas will be synthesized and form the charge for individuals and teams, as they identify change levers and determine next steps and priorities.
