精东影业 Supporting 精东影业 is a dynamic program born from a collaborative partnership between the 精东影业, Office of Teacher Education, and the Digital Futures Institute in May 2022. This innovative initiative aims to bring together newly graduated TC Alumni and other K-12 teachers across New York City, fostering connections, inspiring fresh ideas, and cultivating a vibrant learning community.
At the core of this program is the belief that by utilizing support from fellow educators, technology can be effectively integrated into classrooms in a meaningful way. This approach not only enhances the educational experience but also promotes camaraderie and collaboration among teachers. We firmly believe that when teachers support one another, significant transformations occur in both the educational landscape and the personal growth of every educator involved.
