Teacher Leadership Institute

WHAT IS THE TEACHER LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE (TLI)?

The Teacher Leadership Institute is a national program that readies classroom teachers for leadership roles.

The TLI is a partnership among the MFPE and NEA. Three hundred participants from across the country hone their expertise and engage in leadership work in schools and unions. TLI makes leadership accessible to educators with busy schedules as learning takes place primarily through webinars and video conferences, with much of the work self-paced.

Program Overview
The Teacher Leadership Institute is a year-long (October, 2019 – August, 2020), cohort based learning experience consisting of:

  • Rigorous competency-based curriculum;
  • Applied experience through a self-selected capstone project;
  • Deep local and national community collaboration;
  • Extensive coaching and support; and
  • Evidence-based portfolio documenting growth in the Teacher Leadership
    Competencies.
