Thousands of educators in eight North
Carolina districts will have access to Teaching Channel's
video professional development platform to deepen self-reflection
and improve practice
EAGAN, Minn. ,
May 7,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Teaching Channel, a
leading provider of online professional learning for educators,
today announced that it has been chosen by The Innovation Project
(TIP) to support teachers throughout North Carolina through a $21 million Teacher and School Leader Incentive
Program (TSL) grant from the U.S. Department of Education.
"We're proud to partner with Teaching
Channel, which has a proven track record of empowering teachers to
improve their practice," said Sharon
Contreras, CEO of TIP. "Together, we'll help teachers
throughout North Carolina
transform the lives of thousands of students."
Teaching Channel will collaborate with TIP through its
Reimagining Teaching Talent (RTT) program, which connects 79
schools in eight districts to form a networked improvement
community (NIC). To achieve its goal of improving student outcomes,
the NIC will promote equitable access to educational resources and
opportunities, further educators' professional growth, and work to
build a diverse educator workforce.
"We're proud to partner with Teaching Channel, which has a
proven track record of empowering teachers to improve their
practice," said Sharon Contreras,
CEO of TIP. "Together, we'll help teachers throughout North Carolina transform the lives of
thousands of students."
The RTT program focuses on the most powerful school-based
influence on student achievement: recruiting, developing, and
retaining teachers, teacher leaders, and principals. To inspire
educators' professional growth, NIC members will engage in
leadership academies, professional learning communities, and
individual and peer coaching. To promote diversity in the educator
pipeline, districts in the NIC will partner with historically Black
colleges and universities to create year-long, equity-driven
recruitment and retention systems. Participating schools will also
support new educators who are taking Praxis Tests.
"We're honored to join TIP in carrying out this important,
transformative work," said Don
Rescigno, managing director at Teaching Channel. "We look
forward to engaging this dedicated group of educators with our
award-winning video-based platform to foster a culture of
continuous learning, coaching, and self-reflection that ultimately
improves student outcomes."
"Teaching Channel's professional learning platform will give
thousands of North Carolina
teachers, coaches, and leaders access to over 1,800 videos of
exemplary practice along with reflection, collaboration, and
coaching tools that are proven to impact educators and the students
they serve," said Mike Smith,
president of Teaching Channel.
Districts supported by the grant include:
- Asheboro City Schools;
- Edgecombe County Schools;
- Elizabeth City-Pasquotank Public Schools;
- Lexington City Schools;
- Mount Airy City Schools;
- Scotland County Schools;
- Vance County Schools; and
- Warren County Schools.
