The Power of Teacher Voice: How Cobb County Is Leading the Way

Cobb Country School District believes that they must care about the engagement of teachers, listen when teachers suggest what they need and what their students need, and provide them with opportunities to make decisions about their own professional learning. This included creating a Teacher Leader Academy, a thoughtfully designed “Deeper Learning” summer institute and quarterly meetings throughout the school year provide teachers with hands-on, engaging training on developing their voices so they can listen, learn, and lead from their position in the classroom.
