Teachers
Network was a non-profit education organization
that had been working for three decades to
support and connect innovative teachers through
grants and networking opportunities in the areas
of curriculum, leadership, policy and new media.
With headquarters in New York City, the Teachers
Network community of educators was linked nationwide
by 21 affiliated organizations including education
foundations, public school systems, and several
state education departments adopted
Teachers Network programs. Teachers
Network established its first international affiliation
with the launch of TeachNet Ireland. Teachers
Network’s mission was to provide teachers with
the knowledge and skills to become leaders in
their classrooms and schools, thereby improving
student learning and achievement.

Teachers
Network Leadership Institute (TNLI):
TNLI was established to improve student achievement
by giving teachers an active voice in education
policymaking so that policy decisions are informed
by the realities of daily classroom life. TNLI MetLife
Fellows--all full-time teachers from Teachers Network
affiliates--research key issues and develop recommendations
based on their findings. These findings are then
published and disseminated nationwide. To help get
the word out, fellows routinely present their research
and recommendations to policymakers at all levels.
In addition, many fellows serve on local, state,
and national education policy advisory boards and
task forces.
TeachNet:
TeachNet sought to improve student learning by helping
teachers develop appropriate and effective instructional
materials that infuse the Internet and support local
and state standards. Teacher projects were published online
and disseminated to educators both locally and worldwide.
These teachers were in the vanguard of educational
reform, ensuring quality control of classroom instruction
and responsible use of technology.
