Teacher Leadership Academy

Since its inception the Reach Institute has offered high quality professional development seminars and coaching to cohorts of teacher leaders, school leaders and school-linked non-profit leaders.

In 2009-2010, Reach will launch the Teacher Leadership Academy. The program is based on the Reach Institute’s innovated job-embedded, personalized, and collaborative practices and includes three integrated professional development opportunities.

Teacher Leader Professional Development:

Reach offers a broad range of professional development for teacher leaders, coaches, and instructional leaders. Each series combines seminars, collaborative work, action research, and reflection over the course of five weeks.

Master’s of Education in Teacher Leadership (M.Ed.) & Administrative Services Program:

With support from the Silicon Valley Social Venture Fund, a small group of teacher leaders will be selected to form the first cohort of the Reach Teacher Leadership Master’s of Education Program. Participants will earn a M.Ed. over the course of one year while co-creating the program and conducting action research in their own school.
