The recent Teacher Practice Networks (TPN) two-day learning event was the focus of an Impatient Optimists blog* post, “A Day of Design Thinking: Teachers and Network Leaders Collaborate to Improve Professional Learning.”

The TPN event, held in Seattle, WA, brought together more than 100 TPN representatives, teachers, and initiative staff for innovative problem solving.

The blog post states:

“Facilitated by the Center for the Future of Teaching and Learning at WestEd, TPN is intended to speed up the work of teacher networks in supporting teachers as they implement college-readiness standards. The gathering was a unique opportunity for teachers to view associations and other education organizations as partners in their work and for the network organizations to hear from teachers.”
