For the past two years teacher leader bloggers here at Stories from School: Practice meets Policy have written hundreds of posts about how policies impact learning and teaching in their Washington State classrooms, and through thousands of comments you have continued the conversation with them. Now we are excited to introduce a new partner to expand the conversation even further!

Through the new blog Stories from School-AZ, ten accomplished teacher leaders will post about how policy impacts teaching and learning in their Arizona classrooms and schools. The bloggers come from across the state of Arizona, and teach and lead in a wide variety of interesting contexts. Check out their bios to see for yourself.

Stories from School-AZ launched with support from the fabulous leaders at the Arizona K-12 Center. We could not ask for a better partner in this important work. If you’re not familiar with the Center, a trip to their website is well worth the time.

A new school year began this week in Arizona, and Stories from School-AZ bloggers are writing about it as we speak. When Washington bloggers come back from their well-deserved vacations later this month, you’ll be able to find them right here, connecting with their Arizona counterparts on issues that impact learning and teaching in both states.

More teacher leader voices. Broader insight and analysis. This is the beginning of a powerful partnership!
