The Teacher and Leader Development Team will use their respective areas of expertise to assist districts with New York’s Race to the Top deliverables and Regents Reform agenda.

Districts across the state are continuing their work on implementing the three state-defined deliverables:

1. Implementation of the Common Core Learning Standards
2. Embedding data-driven instruction into daily school practice
3. Developing evidence-based observation systems for teachers and principals 

The Teacher and Leader Development Team is poised to assist districts with: 

• Differentiated Support to Buildings/Districts
• Region-Wide Training and Support
• Implementation of Data Driven Instruction
• Focus on Common Core Learning Standards
• Ambassador Program

As you can see in the sidebar to the left, separate pages have been dedicated to these areas of work. We encourage you to take some time to explore, share, and build your knowledge and expertise with us.
