Teacher Leader Cadre II
Twenty-four Missouri Family and Consumer Sciences educators were selected to participate in the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's second Teacher Leader Cadre. The intense professional development focuses on assisting teachers in developing programs of study that lead to careers, integrate FACS National Standards, academic standards, employee skills, and critical thinking skills into the district's program. The first session was held April 19-20, 2007, in Columbia, Missouri. The second session is scheduled for June 4-5 at the University of Central Missouri, then in Springfield in July.
The overall mission of the Teachers Leaders Institute is to improve student learning by building the instructional and leadership capacities of FACS teachers in Missouri. The teachers have committed to a three-year program of on-going professional development.
The teacher leaders will be active participants in forming networks and study groups to work with curriculum, assessment, program development and program evaluation. The process will include creating a sequence of study in FACS content that will allow a student to pursue a career in a related area. During this program, the teachers will develop strategies for sharing information with fellow FACS educators throughout the state.
