This year, TFA Nevada partnered with TNTP to launch our Building Transformational Schools Fellowship, a year-long professional learning experience focused on strengthening PLCs, instructional leadership, and collaboration across Nevada schools.
We’re especially grateful to the TNTP team members who helped bring this work to life.
Thank you to Dwight Sanders, our lead facilitator, for creating a culture of excellence, community, laughter, and deep conversation throughout the year. His facilitation helped fellows feel both challenged and supported as they applied their learning in real time.
Thank you to Sarah Brochert (NV '15) and Suyapa Canales (NV '14), who were masterful designers of the learning behind the scenes and helped shape training that was practical, thoughtful, and immediately connected to fellows’ work in schools.
Thank you to Tacha Thebaud (LA '00), who helped with recruitment and brought care and intentionality to making sure the right leaders had the opportunity to be part of this cohort.
And thank you to Carmen Orozco, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to help secure the partnership and get this project off the ground.
Through this year’s fellowship, participants led projects focused on literacy, writing, data use, attendance, multilingual learner support, SPED systems, and schoolwide collaboration, impacting more than 4,800 students across Nevada.
Thank you, TNTP, for helping us build something meaningful for educators and students across Nevada this year!
