TIP is pleased to announce that four TIP Fellows have been named as National Fellows for the Yale National Initiative’s 2012 annual seminar program. The prestigious program attracts teachers from all five Teachers Institutes and a total of 20 school districts across the nation.
Our TIP National Fellows and their schools are:
Tara Ann Carter Bartram High School
Sydney Coffin University City High School
Jessica Coldren Motivation High School
Deborah Smithey Philadelphia Military Academy at Leeds
All four are active participants in 2012 TIP seminars, and serve as Teacher Representatives for their schools.
A total of 75 teachers will attend one of seven seminars on the Yale campus in New Haven, CT. National Fellows will be attending daily two-hour seminars on specific content topics, and will be guided by the professors and vigorous peer review as they create substantive curriculum units for their students. The units will be shared with colleagues and made available for reference and use by teachers everywhere online at the YNI website (which can be accessed at the “Links” folder here at the TIP website). The National Fellows represent the Institutes in Philadelphia, New Haven, Pittsburgh, Charlotte, and Delaware, as well as programs in Chicago, the Diné (Navajo) Nation, Richmond, Tulsa, and Emeryville, San Jose, and San Mateo, CA.
