We are pleased to have two of our teachers serving as Teacher Leaders in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Teacher Academy Program. This program was piloted last year and currently is made up of 75 teachers from across the district and across grade levels, subjects and schools. These teachers have a variety and several years of experience as well as strong teacher evaluations, references/recommendations, and school involvement. Teacher Leaders choose to serve in one of three capacities: professional development writers and deliverers, quality colleague similar to a mentor program, and model classroom for observations. Teacher Leaders meet monthly for continued professional development, and are compensated for their time working with fellow teachers or "mentees/partners."
Congratulations Mrs. Amanda Gordon, Art Teacher and A+ Magnet Coordinator and Mrs. Megan Shoaf True, Pre-Kindergarten Teacher for being accepted into the Teacher Academy as Teacher Leaders.
Teacher Academy was made possible through a grant from the Winston-Salem Foundation as well as continued support from the WSFCS School Board. Each fall, the Winston-Salem Foundation hosts the Teacher Leaders, School Board and Executive Cabinet for a special Reception.
