NEA features Teaching Channel on NEA.org

Teaching Channel, a new non-profit focused on professional development, is a video showcase—on the web and television—of great teaching in America’s public schools. The new national non-profit’s focus is to elevate and celebrate teaching with an emphasis on sharing promising and best teaching practices. To this end, Teaching Channel has asked NEA to reach out to our affiliates to share the tool.

Several convergent factors make this the right time for Teaching Channel:

• There is a widespread recognition of the need to raise the morale and status of teachers in America’s public schools.
• The new Common Core State Standards create a shared language to simplify the sharing of best practices.
• The national debate over educational standards has created a greater demand for innovation and effectiveness.
