Grants to this Grantee
for promoting Bay Area adoption of instructional practices that accelerate deeper learning
Teach For America–Bay Area is a regional site of the national nonprofit organization that trains recent college graduates and professionals to teach for at least two years in low-income communities. This grant will help TFA–Bay Area to develop a new pre-service training model, cultivate early adopters of deeper learning, and build an alumni school leaders network. These efforts seek to foster the conditions for these strategies to spread through its larger educator network. This work advances the Education Program’s strategic goal of testing theories of diffusion of deeper learning practices.
