A New Kind of TEECH-er
We start by developing teachers as agents for community justice and change, advocacy, and empowerment.
- Educators agree!
New School Model
TEECH transforms education by training future educators as community advocates before they ever enter the classrooms.
TEECH aims to address the disconnect between school and students’ lives/communities by training teachers as community workers and advocates, increasing their capacity to effectively serve communities in which they teach.
By drawing on their lived experiences and connections to community, TEECHers will be able to center their curriculum, practices, and relationships around culturally responsive practices—including the trajectory of leadership, policies and priorities of schools.
