About the Innovative Teachers Network

Microsoft's Innovative Teachers Program, supports K-12 educators as they develop systems to collaboratively acquire 21st century skills and then incorporate these skills into the student learning environment.  This program consists of 3 elements: the Innovative Teachers Network, the Innovative Teachers newsletter, and the Innovative Teachers Forum.

The Innovative Teachers Network connects educators who seek professional collaboration around 21st century teaching and learning. The belief of the Innovative Teachers Network is that innovative teachers are lifelong learners who thrive on the learning process themselves, and as a result, pass the excitement of learning onto their students.

When you join the Innovative Teachers Network, you get access to resources and tools which will support you in and out of the classroom:

• Classroom and professional development resources created and reviewed by your peers, which will bring new excitement to the teaching and learning that goes on in your classroom
• Community tools which allow rich collaboration with other educators within your school or across the country
• MySite, your personalized version of the Network. On MySite you can store and have online access to the tools and resources you use the most. It can be a place to store documents in progress, your appointments and task list, and direct links to your favorite resources and colleagues.

Join the Innovative Teachers Network and become an active stakeholder in your profession.
