Overview:
Are you an experienced, effective teacher who is looking for the next professional challenge? Are you looking for recognition as an excellent teacher? Are you looking to work with a collaborative team of like-minded peers to demonstrate the power of teaching to eliminate the achievement gap? If so, then becoming a T3 teacher leader could be the next step in your career.
As a T3 teacher leader, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with a team of high-performing, dedicated teachers. You will be trained as a cohort in strategies that have been used by other highly effective teacher teams. You'll be part of a broader improvement strategy in a school that supports quality teaching and teacher leadership. You'll be able to take on leadership roles without leaving the classroom. The T3 Initiative offers a path toward mastery in urban teaching and in leadership of other teachers.
What is the T3 Initiative?
The T3 Initiative is a partnership between Teach Plus and school districts to recruit, develop, and support effective, experienced teachers to serve in our lowest performing schools. This program was designed by teachers to address the problem of inequitable access to effective teachers in the highest need schools. For more information, please visit www.t3teachers.org.
The T3 Initiative:
Creates cohorts of highly effective and experienced teachers
Trains them to become turnaround specialists
Places them in teams in the schools in which they are most needed.
The T3 Initiative offers:
A Cohort Model of Staffing. T3 teacher leaders work together as teams of high-performing educators in low-performing schools. The T3 cohort comprises at least 25% of the school faculty. The cohort receives training together and time for collaboration throughout the year. T3 teacher leaders serve in a variety of leadership roles that help facilitate and support the work of all teachers in the school to significantly increase student achievement.
A Broader Turnaround Strategy that Supports Effective Teaching. To be successful, teachers need to be a part of a comprehensive plan to dramatically improve the culture and outcomes of the school which also includes:
A strong, experienced principal who supports and empowers teachers and who values teacher leadership;
Wrap-around services for students to help teachers address their students' social, emotional, and health needs and provide support for parent and community outreach;
Ongoing training and professional development that begins with an intensive, team-based Summer Institute;
Resources for improving instruction such as regular data on student progress and expert coaching.
Differentiated Pay. T3 teacher leaders will be compensated to work an extended school year through a salary differential that acknowledges their status.
Criteria
Teachers must apply to the T3 Initiative. Qualified applicants must have at least three years of experience teaching in a high-poverty school. Selection criteria include evidence of prior effectiveness with students and evidence of those skills required for success in a turnaround environment. T3 teacher leaders are full-time classroom teachers and employees of the district in which they were hired.
Apply Now!
T3 is now accepting applications for K-8 positions in Boston Public Schools and the Achievement School District (Memphis). The T3 application process is designed to be a fair and comprehensive way of assessing a teacher's readiness to be a turnaround leader. The T3 selection process includes:
A written application
An interview day that involves participation in a team activity
Evidence of effective classroom teaching practice
