New teachers often feel abandoned in a challenging classroom, frustrated to the point of quitting. To better support these teachers and to increase retention rates, the UW College of Education and the Ginger & Barry Ackerley Family Foundation are focusing on strengthening partnerships and increasing collaboration with 23 high-needs schools. Working together with partner schools, the Ackerley Partner School Network helps provide additional support and resources to both inservice teachers and to practicing teachers and principals. Through a variety of activities related to the Teacher Education Program and Professional Development, educators at the University and at partner schools have been able to communicate ideas, share expertise, and learn together.
To create and support the collaboration of P-12 and university educators to improve teaching and learning in public schools and universities in ways that respond to the needs of students who face the greatest challenges.
