Teacher Improvement Fellowship Launch Party

Baltimore city-based Improving Education marked the launch of its new Teacher Improvement Fellowship with a gathering at Mt. Washington Tavern.

Board members and other supporters joined many of the new fellows to celebrate the program which works with teacher leaders in the city to create and lead change efforts in schools and the community, particularly focusing on how they teach students and engage parents.
