Uncommon Schools

This week the Master Teacher Institute (MTI) convened 47 Uncommon humanities and STEM teachers and provided them with an experience tailored to support them in raising the ceiling for Uncommon and dramatically accelerating student learning. During this professional training teachers were able to: 🔹Transform teaching by being in a cohort of peers across all Uncommon that are working together to raise the bar. 🔹Set a new benchmark of educational excellence at Uncommon. Receive individualized feedback and support to take your teaching even higher. 🔹Collaborate in deeply meaningful ways with Uncommon colleagues across all regions, grade spans, and content areas.
