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.

UVBEP is pleased to announce our partnership 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.

2009-2010 LT I Tentative Program Schedule:

  • Session I: Kick-off/Leadership/Teambuilding, Nov. 7
  • Session II: Science & Biotechnology, Nov. 18
  • Session III: The Arts & Nonprofits, Dec. 8
  • Session IV: Communication, Teamwork & Continuous Improvement, Jan 14
  • Session V: Math & Engineering, Feb. 10
  • Session VI: Social Studies, Critical Thinking & Trial and Error, Mar. 10
  • Session VII: Technology & Innovation, Apr. 13
  • Session VIII: Real World Teaching Conference/Reflection/Graduation

Can I earn graduate credit?

Leadership Teacher participants who complete an independent study may earn up to six graduate credits from Plymouth State University at a reduced cost.

How is Leadership Teacher funded?

Leadership Teacher fundraises half or more of the $1,400-per-participant cost. The remaining $300-700 typically comes from the participating teacher's staff development fund. Participating school districts pay this tuition directly to Leadership Teacher.

Thanks to sponsor support, LT is excited to offer special pricing for school districts. Deduct $200 for teachers from UVBEP Partner Schools.

$700 per teacher for one teacher in LT I
$600 per teacher for two teachers in LT I
$500 per teacher for three or more teachers in LT I


We are hoping that this pricing will encourage districts to send 3 or more K-12 teachers to participate in the program. We have found there is great value when teams of teachers and guidance counselors from each level (elementary, middle, and high school) participate.
