Teacher Leadership Team Bulletin
Forest City Community School District
What's New at Forest City Schools?
"Welcome Back!" These are words that will be echoing through the halls this week, as the 2016-2017 school year commences. In this spirit of welcoming, we would like to take the time to introduce a new state-wide school improvement initiative that will be implemented district wide beginning this fall - The Teacher Leadership Compensation System.
The Teacher Leadership Compensation System (TLC), was an Iowa legislative effort created over four years with the goal of all school districts voluntarily participating by 2016-2017. Our district received the grant in year three of this initiative. The primary goals of the TLC system in Forest City are the following:
1. To promote collaboration by developing and supporting opportunities for teachers in our schools to learn from each other
2. To improve student achievement by strengthening instruction
WHO IS THE TEACHER LEADERSHIP TEAM (TLT)?
The Teacher Leadership Team (TLT) in Forest City includes three full time positions. Sarah Leichsenring and Shawn Miller will be serving as PK-12 Instructional Coaches, and Mike Van Oort will be coordinating PK-12 Technology and Instruction. In addition to their full time teaching positions, the following individuals will be taking on leadership roles as TLC Model Teachers: Lacy Jerome, Melissa Taft, Justin Uhlenhopp, Tyler Wedemeier, Mallory Ziesmer, Daniel Sarasio Meyer and Keith Walker.
For more information regarding the TLC system, visit the Department of Education website.
