Yale National Initiative to strengthen teaching in public schools

League of Teachers Institutes    The participating cities or communities in the Yale National Initiative include those with established Teachers Institutes and those that are considering the establishment of such Institutes . Each Teachers Institute engages the serious educational problems associated with low-income communities and a high proportion of racial and ethnic diversity. In New Haven the partnership includes a major private university that does not have a department or college of Education. In Pittsburgh the partnership includes a private university focused upon the sciences and a small liberal arts university that has a strong Education program. In Houston the partnership includes a state-supported urban university that has a college of Education. In Philadelphia the partnership includes a major private university that has a Graduate School of Education and that had already committed itself to work toward increasing access to higher education. These Teachers Institutes show that a successful professional development program in the humanities and sciences can exist in each of these institutional contexts.
