Statewide Teacher Leaders
In 2011, in partnership with the Center for Teaching Quality (CTQ), the Arizona K12 Center launched the Arizona TeacherSolutions® Team. Through this endeavor, we gathered together 20 solutions-focused teacher leaders from across the state, willing to push themselves to think outside of what is and begin looking towards what could be.
Since then, the Arizona TeacherSolutions Team has worked together to seek solutions to some of the most pressing problems and issues facing Arizona’s schools. Our current focus? Equity. Despite good intentions and best efforts, inequities in opportunities and outcomes remain. How do we create teaching and learning environments that meet the needs of all children and allow them to excel? That is our challenge and one that our Arizona TeacherSolutions Team eagerly embraces.
The work of the Arizona TeacherSolutions Team provides the foundation of our annual Teacher Leadership Institute because there is much to learn from one another and significant challenges facing us all.
