In 1989, former President Bush and then Governor Clinton held the first education summit. Not one teacher was invited. In
1990, Teachers Network brought together 50 teacher leaders from across the country to draft the Teachers Vision of the Future of Education—A
Challenge to the Nation.
Teachers Network Leadership Institute (TNLI) was established to improve student achievement by bringing the teachers' voice to education
policymaking.
Through action research, TNLI teachers seek to bring their experience and expertise to current debates on education policy.
Teachers Network Leadership Institute (TNLI) is comprised of hundreds of teachers from 14 nationwide affiliates.
TNLI MetLife Fellows--teachers with full-time classroom teaching responsibilities--research policy issues and develop recommendations,
document their work in papers and publications, and disseminate their work locally and nationally. Fellows’ action research studies address the direct
link between policymaking and its effects on student achievement in their classrooms.
