A League of Innovative DC Teachers in the Making

Written by Angel Cintron Jr.

The CityBridge Foundation and NewSchools Venture Fund’s Education Innovation Fellowship provides DC teachers with a yearlong professional development program in blended and personalized learning instructional approaches. Throughout the yearlong program, twenty DC educators (“fellows”) observed several best practices and bright spots within several blended and personalized learning school-wide, and classroom-specific, models throughout the Bay Area and Los Angeles California, Detroit, Michigan, and Washington, D.C.

The valuable lessons learned, throughout this professional development experience, were on display during the December 6^th Education Innovation Summit in Washington, D.C. This summit provided the platform for twenty DC public and public charter teachers to share their experiences with blended and personalized learning. Through “breakout sessions,” each fellow shared their advice, best practices, bright spots, and challenges with leveraging education technology within the classroom.

If you use twitter as a professional development source, or you want to learn more about blended and personalized learning, particularly from a teacher’s point of view, then take a moment to read this storify of the event.
