Activities
Each semester, participating teachers complete the following activities with their partners (partnerships include one secondary and one post-secondary teacher):
- All participants meet as a group 2-3 times during the semester
- Partners observe one another for one or more school days
- Teachers collaborate to design, teach, and evaluate a "team essay" project, in which UNM teachers teach 2-4 times in the same secondary classroom. The partners assign an essay project, secondary students complete this assignment, and both teachers grade and review the assignment with students.
- In spring semesters, participants design and lead a presentation or workshop at the annual summit, which includes representatives from New Mexico State Dept. of Education, UNM, TVI, and various secondary districts and schools.
- UNM teachers design and lead a presentation or workshop at the English TA Orientation the following August.
