Tonight, DCTA had the opportunity to present our Math and Science Leadership Academy to the Board of Education. We have spent the last 8 months talking to students, parents, and community members to help inform the design of our school. Over 500 parents, community/business leaders, and elected officials have signed a petition of support of our DPS Innovation School.
Why does the teachers union want to start a school?
We want to put our words into action. We want to demonstrate that collaboration between parents and teachers makes the difference for kids. Most importantly, we want to push our students to become the next leaders of the global society.
Thanks to Lori Nazareno (our teacher leader!), Julie Variot, Elaine Giromini, Kathy Koralewski, Linda Barker, and our Advisory Board. A special thanks to our union colleages at CEA, NEA, and TURN.

I'm very interested in this project, which has just been reported in the media:

I hope that there will be a forum that parents of students at other schools may participate in, to follow this project and discover how well it works, and possibly explore ways that we might support similar projects.
