Make the most of your Oklahoma Teacher Empowerment Program

Without careful management, your OTEP program can become a burden on district and site leadership. Meanwhile, the potential for truly impactful programming is at risk of becoming a series of meaningless tasks that leave advanced, lead, and mentor teachers feeling frustrated and ineffectual.

With the support of a TILI Instructional Leadership Coordinator, however, OTEP requirements shift from compliance burden to high impact investments that address your districts' most important goals.

Improving Student Outcomes

From early intervention to high school graduation efforts. TILI can organize programming designed to fill learning gaps. TILI will connect OTEP staff to existing after-school programs or work with site and district leaders to develop programs staffed entirely by OTEP teachers.

Attendance & Graduation

Your Instructional Leadership Coordinator will get to know your district's existing efforts or pioneer new research-based approaches, then assign, train, and supervise OTEP teachers who are invested in reaching disengaged students.

Curriculum & Resource Development

Curriculum Specialists and Instructional Coaches never have enough hours in the day. With so many teachers to serve, there are always projects on the back burner. TILI Coordinators can ease the burden of organizing OTEP teachers while working with district and site leaders to identify the right teachers to support with the right curriculum development projects.

Professional Development

This is TILI's speciality! When you choose to take on an Instructional Leadership Coordinator, you not only gain an expert partner in PD development but you also become a host site for Instructional Leadership Summits. Your OTEP teachers will have the opportunity to share their expertise not only with their colleagues but with teachers throughout the region. Read more on the Summit Hosting page.

Enrichment Programming

Your OTEP teachers have hidden talents that they are just waiting for the right opportunity to share. Let an Instructional Leadership Coordinator work with your OTEP teachers to develop unique enrichment programs that bring out the best in students and teachers alike.

Community Connections

Parent engagement boosts student outcomes. TILI can help your schools to organize community events, adult learning opportunities, or any number of other services designed to build a bridge between school and community.
