Abstract:
This paper addresses findings from the first year evaluation of IBM’s Reinventing Education grant collaborative (RE3). The grant funds collaborations between teacher training institutions and school districts and focuses on the professional development continuum in order to sustain teachers through the induction years and beyond. It addresses the development of such programs and the challenges faced in working with such a dispersed range of collaborations, each of which has very different structures and partners. Two cases are presented, followed by a brief discussion of key issues.
