The Teacher Leadership Institute is a cohort-based learning experience that runs from October 2018 to August, 2019. Its aim is to prepare classroom teachers for leadership roles.

The TLI experience consists of:
- A rigorous Competency-Based Curriculum.
- Applied experience through a self-selected, evidence-based portfolio capstone.
- Deep local and national community collaboration.
- Extensive coaching and support.
- An evidence-based portfolio documenting growth in the teacher leadership competencies.
