ACE Opportunity
Teaching Trust Fellows
ACE Faculty & Staff,
Teaching Trust and ACE are proud to partner on leadership professional development opportunities for the 2017-18 school year through the Ed Fellows program. Teaching Trust is extending their Ed Fellows program application for ACE and they have agreed to accept 10 ACE educators into the year-long program. This program offers two separate cohorts, with one focused on building instructional leadership and content expertise to drive classroom results, and the other more focused on adult leadership, DDI, and learning to lead high-quality PD.
To ease the selection process, Teaching trust has streamlined the application for ACE educators by making the video component optional and consolidating the interview. Space is limited and the deadline is Monday, May 29!
Deadline: Monday, May 29 @ 11:59 PM
Questions? Attend a webinar on Thursday, May 25 @ 4:30 PM
OUR APPROACH FOR TEACHER LEADERS:
This one-year program supports teachers to deepen their instructional competence, bolster their influence skills, and prepare them to take on roles leading teacher teams at the department or grade level. We offer two cohorts to achieve this goal: one focused on Instructional Leadership and another on Adult Leadership.
The Instructional Leadership cohort supports Fellows by emphasizing high leverage instructional practices and classroom leadership. The Adult Leadership cohort builds educator capacity to influence and lead other adults.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:
· Targeted development based on participant need – Implementing proven instructional practices at the classroom level to drive student gains and developing leadership capacity to influence student achievement across a grade or school
· Collaboration opportunities with other values-aligned educators and hands-on problem-solving focused on meaningful challenges
· Year-long action project that provides an opportunity to implement skills learned in sessions and drive specific on-campus improvement
· Access to a network of highly informed and influential individuals from multiple public school districts and networks across North Texas who are focused on leading transformational change in education
· Four-day Summer Intensive, followed by monthly sessions throughout the school year and regular coaching meetings with Teaching Trust staff members
ADULT LEADERSHIP COHORT OVERVIEW
Over the course of the year, Adult Leadership Cohort Members will plan and implement a Campus Action Project crafted to build skill in and influence other adults. Each project will strategize around how to improve academic outcomes for students across a grade or content area. Cohort members will receive targeted training on conducting in-depth data analysis, strategic data-response planning, holding others accountable, and leading high-quality professional development.
Summer Intensive: July 18 – 21, 8 AM – 1 PM followed by monthly sessions during the school year
INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP COHORT OVERVIEW
To create proof-points of what is possible for students, these classroom-based teacher-leaders will spend a year building their instructional leadership and content expertise. The crux of the program will focus around the completion of an ambitious Classroom Action Project, through which each Fellow will collaborate across campuses, grade-levels, and/or content areas to create a tangible example of improvement and impact in their own classroom.
