School Focus

In its first year of partnership, the administrative team and cohort of 12 Teacher Leaders from diverse sections of the school (Special Education, VAPA, CTE, World Language, English, History, Math, and Science) are using collaborative inquiry to support equity efforts and foster a greater sense of student belonging, voice, and agency at Tamalpais High School.

“Through the collaborative inquiry there’s a real aha moment,” said Carrie Wilson, executive director of Mills Teacher Scholars. “It gives teachers a chance to see how the competencies intersect with their instructional practices.”
