The mission of Teach Plus is to improve outcomes for urban children by ensuring that a greater proportion of students have access to effective, experienced teachers. It is founded on the premise that teachers want to learn and grow in the profession, and want to ensure that their development results in increased learning among their students. In order for schools to continuously improve student achievement, teaching must become a career that motivates and rewards continuous improvement among practitioners.
Teach Plus works with Orchard Gardens through the Turnaround Teacher Team (T3) Initiative. Teacher leaders at OGPS are trained to support data driven, solutions focused educational practices. Several OGPS teachers are also Teach Plus Teaching Policy Fellows, where they work in a cohort based program to promote effective policy changes for positive education reforms.
