Need In Deed is Recruiting for the 2013-2014 Teacher Network

Posted by on April 09, 2013

For 25 years Need In Deed has helped teachers of 3rd – 8th grade students make their classrooms the home for excited, engaged, and independent learners.  Working in district, charter, and faith-based schools, we provide the tools and support teachers need to incorporate service-learning into your teaching practice.

Need In Deed is now accepting applications for our 2013-2014 Teacher Network. Teachers who apply and are excepted  receive free year-long training, support in their classrooms, monthly networking meetings, and assistance in finding and scheduling visits from community partners. Our framework, My Voice, is a clearly structured approach to opening up classroom to students’ voices and helping them identify, research, and analyze issues they care deeply about, and then design a service project as the capstone for their learning.

This framework brings the classroom to life, and helps teachers develop their own structures for incorporating Common Core standards. The NID service-learning process is a rich way to include nonfiction, research, and persuasive writing and speaking.

If you know teachers who have a deep belief in their students’ ability to learn, and who want an active, thriving professional learning community to share and grow within, please pass along this email. You can apply online at www.needindeed.org (click the red “Now Recruiting Teachers” button).
