The New Teacher Alliance is funded by the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. CSTP established partnerships with a diverse group of school districts and two Educational Service Districts (ESDs) to develop plans for designing and implementing model programs, based on the induction standards that reflect their culture and context. The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction is an active partner in the alliance. Others include: Click on the name of a district to view information about it.

Outcomes When new teachers in Washington experience high-quality support in the first five years of their professional career, we will reduce the number who abandon education and also reduce the mobility among teachers in schools with challenging populations. The results of this work will enable districts to develop and retain a new generation of skilled, highly qualified teachers, and ultimately, it is Washington's students who will benefit most.

Partners have created a concept map to illustrate the work they are doing. The map shows the relationships among the standards and how the work in each district connects to the standards. Click here to view a static image of the concept map. The interactive version will be posted in Spring 2008.
