Business Model
Teachers 2 Teachers is a INSERT TYPE OF nonprofit. The majority of its revenue comes from INSERT; additional funding for new program development and research is provided by donors such as the INSERT ANYONE OF NOTE, EXAMPLE Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Learn We invite teachers to explore effective teaching strategies in mathematics to equip students with critical thinking skills for the real world. Teachers learn proven math strategies… Through collaborative settings, we invite teachers to discover the light-bulb moments they may never have had in school, giving them the same kind of experiences they want for their students. In growing networks of peers, teachers learn effective methods and best practices and are inspired to apply their new knowledge and skills with their students.

Apply Our coaching strategies lay the groundwork for teachers to grow their own skills as they apply evidence-based best practices in their classrooms. They apply what they have learned… Teachers apply what they learn in their classrooms as they engage with coaches in ongoing reflection — leading to action steps for deepening students’ understanding. Teachers are encouraged to take risks as coaches offer the practical and emotional support needed to give teachers the tools and confidence to implement these strategies successfully in their classrooms.

Lead Local teacher-leaders build professional networks that advance educational instruction and inspire broad transformation. And they lead others to create lasting change. We generate local networks of educators who are continuously transforming their own teaching practice and want to lead others to do the same. These teachers share their knowledge and skills across communities, often becoming presenters at conferences and workshops. They function as leaders among their peers, ensuring sustainable change far beyond the reach of traditional training programs.

Conferences
DESCRIPTION AND SOURCE ANY DATES Teachers learn how leading practices can be applied in their context. Workshops focus on building content knowledge and immersing teachers in what student-centered instruction looks and feels like.

Finding solutions through collaboration and opportunity Collaborative education spaces typically don’t exist in our partner countries. Just like us, many teachers have only experienced math lessons as lectures. In our workshops, global experts deliver sessions and content in ways the teachers have rarely experienced before, providing alternative ways of understanding and solving tasks.

At our conferences, large groups of teachers learn about new ways to empower their students as critical thinkers. Teachers often work in teams — proposing ideas, testing them, and debating their outcomes to reach solutions. They are given opportunities to approach math tasks with curiosity, reexamining previous knowledge and gaining new ways of problem-solving and critical thinking.

Conferences also provide a platform for graduates of our programs to demonstrate their leadership skills. They design and facilitate workshops for their peers, often in partnership with experts.

Master Classes
Our intensive, on-site sessions support the application of evidence-based teaching concepts in the classroom with students. They are customized to the needs of a specific school to achieve deeper learning.

Formerly known as teacher coaching. DESCRIPTION AND SOURCE ANY DATES Building knowledge through collective learning Professional development frequently operates with a one-and-done model where teachers aren’t allowed to choose what they learn. Training is often presented without support or time for implementation. As a result, new practices are introduced but not ultimately adopted.

Master Classes address these deficiencies by honoring teachers’ ability to direct their own learning. We design training sessions after we’ve received teachers’ suggestions for what content most interests them. Once topics have been established, we deliver intensive coaching on math content and pedagogy.

To support classroom implementation, expert coaches observe lessons, provide feedback, and work with the full team of teachers. Coaches are local T2TGlobal staff or global experts who champion our Principles of Effective Teaching.

Master Classes help us give support that is relevant to what local teachers want and need. Their educational goals guide the collaboration. At the same time, the emerging conversations relate to best practices in global education.

Teacher Trips
DESCRIPTION AND SOURCE ANY DATES US-based classroom teachers travel abroad and receive high-quality professional development together with local teachers at our partner schools. This mutual exchange creates global teaching perspectives and advances instructional strategies.

Building global teaching perspectives together As the world becomes more interconnected, teachers everywhere are being encouraged to incorporate global topics into their lessons. School administrations recognize the need to prepare their students to be ready to live, work, and contribute in a globalized society.

Our Teacher Trips are one-week cultural and classroom collaborations. Visiting educators, typically classroom teachers from the US, travel abroad and are paired with colleagues at a local school. Visiting teachers receive high-quality professional development alongside local teachers from our ongoing programs, collaborating on lesson plans, co-teaching in the classroom, and even earning continuing education credits.

Learning side-by-side creates a collaborative cultural exchange that supports a more global teaching perspective. An expert educator from our network leads the trip, which means visiting teachers not only experience a different culture but also have the opportunity to learn cutting-edge math education.

Mathmobile
DESCRIPTION AND SOURCE ANY DATES Highly trained instructional coaches collaborate with local teachers in their classrooms. Through consistent in-school support, math lessons become more student-centered. Group workshops strengthen the community of peer leaders.

Taking evidence-based best practices on the road In Guatemala, teachers have few opportunities to learn best practices in math education. Their preparation for teaching is often limited. Once they are placed in a classroom, support is lacking for them to continue to develop as professionals.

Our local math coaches support area schools, building teachers’ content knowledge and leadership skills through compelling workshops and classroom coaching. Each teacher is provided with support sessions focused on student-centered, culturally responsive approaches. Throughout the course of the school year, teachers’ instructional practice advances and student learning deepens.

MathMobile develops local leaders in math education. Participating teachers learn how to share their new knowledge with their colleagues and become change agents in their schools. By presenting at our conferences, they gain skills necessary to lead with impact.

Girls' STEM Club
DESCRIPTION AND SOURCE ANY DATES This after-school program develops the skills girls need to be active problem-solvers in the real world. As they work with our coaches, the girls’ teachers build content knowledge, instructional methods, and leadership.

Creating a safe place for girls to accelerate in STEM Across the globe, girls typically enter STEM fields at a lower rate than boys. Many factors are at play, such as implicit gender bias, teachers’ math anxiety, overreliance on standardized assessments, and formative ideas about who is a STEM professional. Whatever holds them back, girls are locked out of achieving their full potential.

During this weekly club, girls in elementary grades tackle real-world math problems while learning about careers in STEM. They become critical thinkers who can envision themselves in diverse occupations.

Sustainable change is created by coaching the girls’ teachers as they lead the club. Teachers begin to make an impact that extends beyond the club, ultimately reaching all of their students.
