The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Opening up classrooms: Data reveals a crisis in the teaching profession: only 16% would recommend it, and less than half are satisfied with the PD. CWW addresses these issues by providing teachers high-quality PD delivered by the best educators.
Who it helps and why
The harsh reality is that where you live still determines the quality of education you receive. CWW emerged from the critical need to break down systemic structural barriers and ensure that geographical and socioeconomic factors do not confine a student's educational journey. By utilizing technology to create bridges between students, educators, and classrooms from various schools and districts. Campus Without Walls opens up a vast ecosystem of educational opportunities by providing job-embedded professional development for Partner Teachers, increase access to high-quality, rigorous, culturally responsive, and engaging courses for students, and expand to new schools and districts across Massachusetts.
