Turnaround Teacher Teams

The T3 (Turnaround Teacher Teams) Initiative at Teach Plus represents an innovative approach to recruiting, developing, and supporting teachers to serve in high-need schools. The T3 Initiative currently partners with schools in Massachusetts and Tennessee. The initiative creates cohorts of highly effective and experienced teachers, supports them in becoming turnaround specialists, and places them in teams in the schools in which they are most needed. Once T3 teacher leaders begin their work in the schools, they have the opportunity to work with a team of effective teachers, and they can take on leadership roles without leaving the classroom. The Huffington Post blog features posts written by Teach Plus fellows, providing commentary from the teacher’s perspective on issues related to teacher policy and teacher innovation.
