ATLA 3.0

Auburn Teacher Leadership Academy 3.0 is designed to provide teacher leaders with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to provide culturally responsive instruction that honors each student’s identity while preparing them for success after high school. In support of the district's strategic plan, Cohort 10 seeks teacher leaders who will help us make our beliefs actionable: We believe culturally responsive teaching supports equity, excellence, and achievement for all students.

With a focus on helping our classroom practices advance systemically toward this vision, participants will:

• Participate in professional development to enhance culturally responsive classroom- and school-management strategies.
• Apply practices that reflect a growth-mindset in the belief that each student can achieve at high levels.
• Consider the CSTP Teacher Leadership Framework, particularly its Equity Lens, to elevate advocacy for equity of access, opportunities, and outcomes for students.
• Contribute to their schools' plans and efforts to provide culturally responsive teaching for students.
