The National Academy for Advanced Teacher Education (NAATE) is dedicated to the development and delivery of advanced programs of professional learning for experienced educators to develop, retain and deploy them in classrooms and school buildings in our nation’s high poverty schools. Through three programmatic areas, the Teacher Fellows, School Leaders Fellows, and Field Modules initiative, NAATE aims to improve outcomes for students in high-needs schools through a whole school approach to change that aims at deepening teacher instructional practice and leveraging teachers to support and lead their peers. Support for NAATE will focus on four areas: 1) Conducting an external evaluation to determine the impact of its programs on teacher and school leaders’ practices; 2) Conducting a strategic planning exercise to refine NAATE’s business model, value proposition, and ensure that it is positioned for long-term sustainability; 3) Testing of three Field Modules and identification of two additional modules to develop; and 4) General operating support. |
