Center for Inspired Teaching

WISH LIST: $100: classroom supplies for 1 Inspired Teacher; $500: an off-site, overnight retreat to build leadership skills for 1 principal; $2500: scholarship for 1 teacher to attend the year-long Inspired Teaching Institute

With the knowledge that teacher quality is the single greatest predictor of academic success, Center for Inspired Teaching advocates for true educational reform by challenging the way teachers see themselves, the way they understand children's learning, and the way they teach. Through in-depth training offered in several programs, teachers develop student self-discipline so that precious time can be spent learning rather than disciplining, building higher-order critical thinking skills, and making sure students feel safe in the classroom - transforming low-achieving schools into high-achieving centers of learning. Annual principal and teacher institutes rejuvenate veteran educators who return home to manage schools effectively and create dynamic learning environments for their students. A fast-growing, entrepreneurial organization with a big vision (its founder was recognized with a prestigious Ashoka Fellowship), Inspired Teaching is more in demand than ever and wants to expand so that it can reach even more local educators. Do you want to see lasting, systemic change in our schools? Then please help Inspired Teaching meet the growing demand for its critical services.
