Teacher Leader Program (TLP)
Teachers from the Pittsburgh Public Schools with full-time classroom responsibilities and who are union members will be selected to join a nationwide teacher leaders network.
This is a year-long commitment (with a paid stipend for participants upon completion) for a select group of PPS teachers that meets once per month to advance ideas and initiatives that will help you inspire and innovate in the classroom.
TLP will also connect you to the issues that most affect today’s teachers. We are seeking teachers interested in taking more active roles in school change, teacher preparation, professional growth, professional networking, student assessment, teacher evaluation and school design.
