Welcome to the Teachers Network Leadership Institute (TNLI) New York City Online Social Network. This online network will be our primary tool for sharing with each other and communicating between meetings. Your participation in this online network is vital to building our community and successfully completing the work we plan.


The purpose of this online network is to share ideas, information, and opportunities relevant to our work as teacher-leaders generally, and TNLI MetLife Fellows specifically. We value your voice, and here are some guidelines to facilitate posting:

* Please spell out acronyms, explain local or school policies, and avoid jargon. Policies and practices that you are familiar with may be unfamiliar to others. We all need to have a common language for discussions.

* Please be mindful of your language when posting or responding to posts. It’s difficult to interpret tone from an online communication. We should assume good intentions, but clarity when posting will go a long way.

* Have fun and learn from each other. This network is an opportunity for us to share ideas, hear multiple perspectives, and argue respectfully. We won’t always agree, but it’s important for us to continue to engage in discussion.


This online social network and all messages and material posted on and transmitted over it are monitored by TNLI. By using the network you have consented to this monitoring. Content that TNLI, in its sole discretion, determines to be inappropriate or a violation of this policy will be removed. Members who abuse this network in a way believed by TNLI to be harmful to others will be removed from this list.
