Empowering Effective Teachers Coalition Members

We have convened a Coalition that will do some lead-thinking on this issue and help gather information from various stakeholders. The information will then be used to build an advocacy plan with action steps around the five focus areas for empowering effective teachers for our community. It is the Coalition’s responsibility to ensure that everyone that needs to be heard is heard. They will be sharing what they learn and continue to communicate throughout the process. We will be using a community engagement and mobilization model to guide our work. The Team members include:
