Announces New Executive Director
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With the aim of expanding Inspired Teaching's reach and impact, the Board of Center
for Inspired Teaching is pleased to announce the appointment of Jane Dimyan Ehrenfeld
as Executive Director, effective July 1, 2016.
Jane will lead Inspired Teaching's work to prepare, train, and develop extraordinary
teachers in Washington, DC and the region. Jane will oversee the organization in
 executing a multi-year growth strategy to create positive change in the ways teachers
teach and children learn here and elsewhere in the country.
Aleta Margolis, Founder and Executive Director for twenty years, will assume the
 role of President and will continue to play a leadership role with Inspired Teaching.
Aleta will focus on spreading Inspired Teaching's core message to a local and national
audience to shift the norm in education away from compliance-based education toward
engagement-based education.
For two decades, Inspired Teaching has transformed the role of the teacher from 
information-provider to Instigator of Thought [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ZCvM7RgfI052rFXHSqLutzuB_2984neJDjuXbHrGuZInJzuSkTMGRc5am-7AtqMolueHojg--Q-I1I-0VDqaNHBvjAaco3ndFPA7y-CyAn-js7fCWUevU13G0dH4QTexPbcMUE6UQxHjC2mrjuHCh5gS9Cg1HdQhk42Vy_mMEl9aydWoQu3CrtlcMnNpu55aCoqyA3zD3MA=&c=hlTZYPlEOwhIGD_bhZnRtsSOKmk9MZYGrSGzVqorwzbSi6tj_n646g==&ch=Ba84aPPgZrB4gNKU_Pu7lumq9fDxhTSyziQ0O7vBJsDGfV8KR8EQjg==]
