8/27/13 - Two teachers in the community have been selected to join a project that aims to arm teachers with needed tools and support to create a revolution in teacher preparation and development. The National Education Association and Better Lesson Master Teacher Project aims to connect teachers to teachers and measurably improve instruction. Through the project, master teachers create and share common-core aligned, year-long courses, units and lessons that are made available free to teachers everywhere. The project provides lesson plans, instructional philosophies and implementation tips for free to teachers seeking fresh ideas. 96 teachers have been selected to participate; including two locally in the area of English Language Arts. Michelle Spisz is an 8th grade english and yearbook teacher at Fowlerville Junior High School. Sheâs thrilled to participate and says it will provide integrated, innovative, and exciting lessons that will be ready for new and seasoned teachers to use. Deborah Moran is a kindergarten teacher at Whitmore Lake Elementary School and a 27 year veteran of the classroom. She hopes her years of experience provide assistance to teachers as they hone their skills, adding the project came at a good time for her professionally as sheâs seeking to reflect and reignite her love for teaching.
