The Teacher Leader Fellowship Academy (TLFA) at Sacred Heart University taps into the expertise of classroom teachers in partner school districts and offers them an empowering, collaborative fellowship that builds leadership skills while remaining in the classroom. Simultaneously, TLFA supports administrators in creating a school climate and culture that fosters teacher leadership. The fellowship
assists:
•Teachers who want to remain in the classroom and have an interest in affecting change beyond their classroom walls to thrive in a supportive environment that allows them to take ownership of the programs, practices, policies and priorities chat impact student learning;
• Administrators who are at the building or district-level to support teacher leaders to create collaborative, creative and innovative school cultures in the service of student learning;
• Networks of Teacher Leaders & Administrators to share best practices, programs, policies and priorities across districts to support the profession and student learning.
