NE TURN Agenda September 2017Dear Northeast TURN Colleague,
Our next Northeast TURN event is scheduled for September 22-23, 2017 at Boston Teachers Union, 180 Mt Vernon St, Dorchester, MA 02125. We will continue to collaboratively examine policies, programs and practices that both support and challenge the social, emotional and academic learning needs of all students. We will continue to use Michael Fullan’s Coherence Framework as a guide to assist our teams in their efforts to establish shared goals and accountability as well as building capacity to deepen student learning through pedagogical practices. Our agenda will feature local, state and national examples of promising practices and policies that focus on this joint work.
Our NE TURN teams represent union & teacher leaders, school & district administrators and board members who are working jointly to plan and implement teacher evaluation systems and college and career ready standards to improve teaching and learning. We continue to encourage and support our NE TURN teams to jointly develop, implement and share their efforts. Additionally, we will work with teams to develop action plans in order to facilitate the work in our school communities.
Our NE TURN locals are encouraged to invite representatives from their district and school administration, boards of education and community leaders to join their teams for this two-day forum. Our conference will begin at 9:00 am on Friday, September 22 and will conclude by 12:00 pm on Saturday, September 23.
