The Center for Teacher Growth and Renewal

OUR ORGANIZATION

The Center for Teacher Growth and Renewal creates workshops and retreats for teachers to engage in authentic conversation, inspired exploration, and sustained action toward the aim of meaningful educational experiences for themselves, for their students, and for their communities.

OUR COMMUNITY

The community created by the teachers who attend and teach at The Center is a wise and powerful force for educational equity, justice, and meaning. Grounded in experience and research, The Center offers workshops that align with these qualities and meet the needs of teachers where they are. From curriculum design to cultural and ecological sustainability to managing the daily stressors of being in the field, workshops provide lively and reflective experiences that support teachers’ growth and renewal in ways that they choose for themselves in the seasons of their work and lives.
