| In 1989, former
President Bush and then Governor Clinton held the first education summit. Not
one teacher was invited. In 1990, Teachers Network brought together 50 teacher leaders from across the country to draft the Teachers Vision of the Future of Education—A Challenge to the Nation.
Teachers
Network Leadership Institute (TNLI) was established to improve student achievement
by bringing the teachers' voice to education policymaking.
Through action research,
TNLI teachers seek to bring their experience and expertise to current debates
on education policy.
Teachers Network Leadership
Institute (TNLI) is comprised of hundreds of teachers from 14
nationwide affiliates. TNLI MetLife Fellows--teachers with full-time classroom
teaching responsibilities--research
policy issues and develop recommendations, document their work in papers
and publications, and disseminate their work locally and nationally. Fellows’
action research studies address the direct link between policymaking and
its effects on student achievement in their classrooms.
