Upper Valley Leadership Teacher

I have gained some great ideas on how to improve specific areas in our community. While I am only one person, I hope that I can motivate others to further the cause. Even if only one positive change happens from a course, the value added is tremendous.

From 2004 to 2010 UVBEP partnered with Leadership Teacher® to offer an affiliate program for our Partner Schools: Upper Valley Leadership Teacher.

What is Leadership Teacher?

Leadership Teacher is committed to using on-site program days and cutting edge technologies to go beyond the traditional four walls of the classroom and creatively connect in-school learning to the workplace.

Leadership Teacher offers K-12 educators an innovative approach to professional development by creating opportunities for networking and building partnerships with business and industry. Participants begin the yearlong program with a retreat and then meet once a month through May at sites that demonstrate workplace applications of specific curriculum areas. Leadership Teacher has found that when districts send teachers from all levels, a common thread in curriculum develops. Many school districts elect to send teams of teachers from each level to encourage collaboration within individual school.
