American Teacher
March/April 2010
Feature Story
The AFT continued to press the case for a “new path forward” in education at a forum filled with those who can help make it happen—the winter Leadership Institute held in New York City by the Center for School Improvement (CSI).
Co-sponsored by the AFT and the Teacher Center at the United Federation of Teachers, CSI is now in its 12th year of drawing together school and district teams of teachers, union leaders, administrators, community and nonprofit groups from districts across the nation. At UFT headquarters in Manhattan, participants engaged in four intense days of skill building and strategy mapping. The emphasis is on follow-through, and laying the groundwork for union-district cooperation and joint action when the teams return home.
