The
California Teacher Leadership Forum
Bringing the experience of classroom teachers into the
policy process.
The California Teacher Leadership Forum (CTLF) was a network
of accomplished veteran teachers who were recognized
for excellence in teaching and had an interest in strengthening
teacher development policy and practice. From our perspective,
the expertise and experience of accomplished veteran teachers
can greatly inform the development of public policy, and thereby
strengthen teaching and learning. The Center supported this
network of teacher leaders and facilitated opportunities for
the members to share their views directly with policy-makers.
Members of the California Teacher Leadership Forum served
on key committees and task forces convened by the Center as
well as numerous statewide commissions. For example, CTLF members
served on the Joint Committee to Develop a K-12 Education
Master Plan and the Professional Development Framework Team.
Members also provided testimony at legislative hearings
on low-performing schools, minority teacher recruitment, and
emergency credentialing.
