A BTU Teacher Level Member who advocates for the professional growth of colleagues.

The Baltimore Teachers Union created Baltimore Schools for Baltimore Students: Bringing Back Baltimore One Child at a Time (B3), a program with the goal of retaining our current students, re-enrolling students who have left, and recruiting new students into the school system. Working in partnership with the Office of the Mayor and Baltimore City Schools, B3 Advocates conduct a door-to-door canvass with the goal of inviting parents and guardians to place their school-age children in Baltimore City Schools.B3 Advocates have three objectives:1. To identify, inform and welcome prospective enrollees;2. To connect with families who have left BCS, and re-enroll those children;3. To raise awareness about high-quality educational programs and resources available within Baltimore City Schools

Work with a dedicated team of teachers to implement the Yleana curriculum and unite around a common goal: meet the students where they are and help them grow into all they can be!

The Teachers as Leaders program  is a nationwide effort to identify and bring together a select group of teachers each month throughout the year to learn how to take active leadership roles in their schools, unions, and communities. The program creates informed teacher voices who serve as vehicles for positive messaging about public schools and their unions as well as creates a pipeline for future school and union leaders.
