NCTAF & Online Professional Communities for New Teachers

The National Commission on Teaching and America's Future announced a partnership with Pearson- a private educational resources company - in March 2009 to develop an online program for hosting new teachers' professional learning communities.  The project is officially called "Teachers Learning in Networked Communities" or "TLINC."  TLINC will use the established "Tapped In" platform for the project.  It is based off of pilot programs from the University of Memphis, University of Colorado-Denver,  and the University of Washington.
