Who Are We?

The District of Columbia Public Schools are participating in the Yale National Initiative to strengthen teaching in public schools®. We are currently taking preliminary steps of exploring the potential that exists and building capacity for the creation of a Teachers Institute for ­the District of Columbia.

This Web site includes information for teachers, faculty, and administrators interested in learning more about our local efforts and the Teachers Institute Approach.

Our 2024 Yale National Fellows are:
