Seattle Schools

An Educator's Network

Welcome to the Seattle Public Schools social network for the support of powerful teaching and learning.

Welcome!

The Seattle Schools Ning is only a useful tool when teachers share information. Think of all the expertise and the resources that a master teacher will build over a career. How much of that knowledge must be learned individually from scratch by new teachers, or teachers with new assignments? Wouldn't it be better for everyone, students included, if the wisdom of our profession could be better collected and shared to improve Education in Seattle Public Schools? This network can help make that possible.
