We are getting ready to start our fourth cohort of up to fifteen teachers in AFT’s Teacher Leader Program. This program is such a powerful opportunity for teachers to have their voices heard – and it’s absolutely not too late to apply! We recognize how busy the start of the school year is, so we have modified the deadlines. Initial applications are still due on Sept. 6 at 5 PM, but extra time (until Sept. 12 at 5 PM) has been added for the essay and letters of recommendation. This program meets one Saturday per month at the PFT building. Breakfast and lunch are included, and you earn a $1500 stipend for the nine-session commitment. Besides those great benefits, you will get to know some of your fellow Union members and your Union leadership, you will learn about education policy and how it affects your students, and you will get to conduct your own research in an area that interests you! Please consider applying. More information on this excellent program as well as the application can be found here. Questions and completed applications should be emailed to Lindsey Williams (lindsey_williams@pft400.org).
