What Works: Schools to Learn From
Each year Teach For America's Schools to Learn From program selects four to five schools that are providing an excellent education for their students in a specific area, such as culture, systems, or pedagogy.
Any school can apply to become a school to learn from. Once selected, these schools act as learning laboratories by hosting visits and facilitating professional development that enables other educators to implement strategies and best practices in their own schools.
In this series, we will share the big takeaways on what's working in each of the schools selected for the 2019 Schools to Learn From program.
