ACT on Leadership
On May 8, 2010, the National Board Resource Center (NBRC) at Stanford University hosted an event to celebrate teacher leadership. (The NBRC is the umbrella program under which Accomplished California Teachers operates). The occasion was the final support meeting for current National Board candidates, and ACT helped to bring in some speakers to talk about the National Board certification, and about teacher leadership more broadly. Our guests included: Kay Garcia, one of the state directors for the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards; Larry Aceves, a local candidate for State Superintendent of Public Instruction; Chris Thomsen, a local school board trustee; and Anthony Cody, a leading member of ACT, also known for hisTeacher Magazine blog and his activism efforts through Teachers’ Letters to Obama (on Facebook). (Another somewhat local candidate for Superintendent, Tom Torlakson, was invited but could not attend).
