Teachers for a New Era
The Lynch School of Education is among eleven
leading schools and colleges of education education designated "Teachers
for a New Era" schools.
The Carnegie
Corporation of New York and their funding partners awarded
the School a $5-million-dollar grant over five years, which the University
must match, to "reform and reinvigorate its teacher education program," according
to the Carnegie statement.
The Carnegie grant to the Lynch School is part of the second phase of
Teachers for a New Era, which is also supported by the Annenberg, Ford,
and Rockefeller foundations. Carnegie says it and the other foundations
intend to spend more than $65 million over the life of the program.
Dr. Cochran-Smith is part of the 10- member leadership team for the TNE
project, along with LSOE, A&S and Boston Public School colleagues.
She is also the Chair of the Evidence Team, which is developing assessments
of the project’s major goals.
