Spirited Practice Renewed Courage Next Cohort: 2009-2011 The SPARC program is based on the principles of teacher formation from Parker Palmer's "Courage to Teach" work. A group of teachers are selected to take part in this collaborative community, using reflective tools or self-directed professional development. Together, over a two-year cycle, the group examines the art and calling of teaching. Applications (and letters of support) for the 2009-2011 cohort will be due in January 2009.
