BATTI Instructors and Administrators

Students in the Bay Area Teacher Training Institute benefit from the diversity and wealth of experience of its instructors. With teaching and administrative experience in both independent and public schools, and other related, child-centered, professional endeavors, our instructors, in conjunction with the Executive Director and San Francisco State University, have developed a curriculum that is as dynamic as the students they teach.
