| Notes |
The National Academy of Advanced Teacher Education (NAATE) has developed a rigorous program that enables effective teachers in high-need schools to build the skills and strategies needed to advance as leaders within their profession. Geared to experienced, top-tier teachers who have demonstrated a capacity to contribute to their schools more broadly, NAATE's program fosters teacher leadership such that the nation's top classroom talent can help drive change for students who are most in need. At the urging of partner organizations and with support from the Corporation, NAATE has developed and recently piloted a new program for formal school leaders. NAATE is now positioned to offer an integrated suite of advanced learning programs for both teacher leaders and school leaders who can work together to achieve impact at the level of the school. The Corporation's funding will enable NAATE to build its core capacity in key areas related to program expansion and refinement, including business development, systems, and communications, and continue to develop content in three program areas. |
