Teachers as Leaders and Learners
The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), its Schools of Education, Science, and Engineering, the Trenton Public Schools, Diocese of Trenton Schools collaborate in the successful Teachers as Leaders and Learners (TALL) Partnership, which was established in 2003. The goal of the TALL Partnership is to continue to improve grades kindergarten through 8 student learning and achievement in mathematics, science, technology and literacy through high quality, on-site and sustained teacher professional development for both in-service and pre-service teachers.
This successful initiative is making a difference in the Trenton Schools. External evaluation data show that there has been a statistically significant increase in student achievement on standardized test scores in TALL schools. TALL has been selected by the Council of Chief State Officers through a National Science Foundation grant as an exemplar of an urban professional development initiative that includes research-based criteria of quality and scientifically-based evaluation design.
