It takes a certain amount of creativity & courage to even want to improve a status quo situation. It is certainly easier just to follow the beaten path of the main stream educational model and pay attention only to what is specific to your "field of expertise". But you have volunteered for this program because you are willing to work for more than this.

The TESST Project is a community of practice focused on connecting and supporting the pioneering teachers of the Anchorage School District who are exploring how to integrate 9th grade English, History and communications technology into dynamic, project based curriculum for students in the 21st Century. This is our mission and we are glad that you have joined us!
