🌟 Sponsor Spotlight 🌟

Our next sponsor feature goes to the IMC Trading Charitable Foundation!

The IMC Chicago Charitable Foundation's mission is to support opportunities for young people in Chicago to reach their fullest potential, and their partnership with TST has always gone well beyond a check.

Executive Director Lisa Wiersma has served on TST's board for years, bringing her expertise and heart directly into our work.

That kind of deep, relational investment is what moves the needle for teachers and students alike.

Thank you, Lisa, and the entire IMC Chicago team!

"My work with TST contributes to my excitement to remain at my school and in urban education."

This is what meaningful teacher leadership does: it keeps great educators in the work.

When teachers are supported, challenged, and given real opportunities to grow, they stay — and our students are better for it. That's the heart of everything we do at Teachers Supporting Teachers.

If you're a teacher looking for that kind of growth, we'd love for you to join us for the 2026-27 school year.

Did you know 91% of principals say Teachers Supporting Teachers improves the culture in their building?

A stronger building culture does wonders, not just for teachers, but for the students who walk through those doors every day. When educators feel supported, connected, and empowered, that energy reaches every classroom.

If you're ready to lead school-wide change, we'd love for you to join us for the 2026-27 school year.

"Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others."
— Jack Welch

Every great leader started by investing in themselves first.

At Teachers Supporting Teachers, that's exactly what our program is built to do. We help teachers sharpen their skills, deepen their practice, and step confidently into leadership — so that one day, they're the ones growing others.

If you're a teacher ready to invest in your own growth and prepare for what's next, we'd love to have you join us for the 2026-27 school year.

The numbers tell our story:

✔️ 10 years partnering with CPS schools
✔️ 90%+ teacher retention rate, year over year
✔️ One school at a time

At Teachers Supporting Teachers, we believe deep, lasting change happens when you invest fully in one community before moving to the next. A decade in, the results speak for themselves.

If this sounds like something your school could benefit from, our partnership form for the 2026-27 school year is now open. We'd love to hear from you.

Teacher Leader Spotlight: Colleen Ward 🍎👏

Colleen has been another incredible member of our cohort this year. One of her goals was to launch a targeted fact fluency initiative to support foundational math skills.

✨ The result? At the start of the year, 18 students had demonstrated mastery of basic multiplication facts. By the end, that number had nearly doubled to 33 students — and students showed greater confidence and risk-taking in math.

This was just one of many wins for Colleen this year. Want to gain your own wins as a teacher leader? Apply for next year's cohort today! 👇

Meet Jovycse Woods-Smith!

Jovycse has been a part of our cohort this year and has had so many wins worth celebrating. Here's one she recently shared with us:

"Reflecting on our Impact Team's work toward our year-long goal of strengthening small group instruction, several bright spots stand out. Teacher retention remains exceptionally high at 4.83 out of 5, signaling strong morale, trust, and commitment within the team. This stability has allowed us to build momentum rather than constantly re-establish norms or processes."

When teacher leaders are supported, entire teams thrive. We're so proud of the work Jovycse and her team are doing! ✨

If you’d like to join us next year, applications are now open:
