Yale National Initiative
The Yale National Initiative to strengthen teaching in public schools, which builds upon the success of a four-year National Demonstration Project, promotes the establishment of new Teachers Institutes that adopt the approach to professional development that has been followed for more than thirty-five years by the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute.
Teachers Institute for Tulsa
On Nov. 3, 2017, the Teachers Institute for Tulsa was officially accepted as a member of the League of Teachers Institutes, one of only four programs nationwide. The institute is an educational partnership between The University of Tulsa and Tulsa Public Schools that is based on the Yale National Model and the Teachers Institute Approach®. The Teachers Institute Approach® has been developed at Yale University during the past 40 years as a teacher professional development model aimed at strengthening teaching and learning in high-poverty public schools. The Tulsa institute places equal emphasis on teachers increasing their knowledge of a subject and their developing teaching strategies that will be effective with their students.
