THREE ORGANIZATIONS TO RECEIVE NEARLY $1 MILLION TO IMPROVE SUPPORT FOR EDUCATORS
Cupertino, CA - September 25, 2014 – The Learning Accelerator (TLA), a nonprofit organization supporting the implementation of high-quality blended learning in school districts across America, today announced a second round of funding for a human capital cohort that will focus on principal training, teacher professional development platforms, and further implementation of a previously-funded teacher fellowship program.
The recipients include the Friday Institute, a North Carolina State University School of Education-affiliated organization working to advance education through innovation in teaching, learning, and leadership; CFY-Power My Learning, a national nonprofit organization that helps students, teachers, and parents use digital learning to improve educational outcomes; and The Highlander Institute, a nonprofit organization that designs and provides professional development and education services.
“Transforming in-classroom teaching and learning requires transforming approaches to training and developing educators,” said Beth Rabbitt, TLA partner in charge of human capital. “Our initial human capital strategy aims to provide districts and schools with essential, high-quality supports for building the effectiveness of blended learning teachers and leaders. These grants will help us further this goal.”
