About Us
Our nation s education system is leaving millions of students including an overwhelming number of students of color and low-income students unprepared for college, career, and life. While research shows that classroom teachers are the single most important in-school factor in improving student achievement, their diverse voices are consistently left out of education policy decisions. For far too long, teachers have been treated as subjects of change rather than as agents of change.
Founded by public school teachers, Educators for Excellence is a growing movement of 34,000 educators, united around a common set of values and principles for improving student learning and elevating the teaching profession. We work together to identify issues that impact our schools, create solutions to these challenges, and advocate for policies and programs that give all students access to a quality education.
What We Do
Our Theory of Change is grounded in two long-term goals that are inextricably linked: better outcomes for our students and the elevation of the quality and prestige of the teaching profession. We achieve these goals by changing policy at the district, state, and federal levels and transforming our teachers union to be more student-focused, democratic, diverse, and anti-racist. United around our Declaration of Teachers Principles and Beliefs, we are building a powerful movement to lead this change by:
* Organizing educators who share a common vision of equity and excellence in schools,
* Training and supporting teacher leadership, and
* Advocating for teacher-led recommendations at all levels of government, within teachers unions, and in the public conversation around education.
Educators for Excellence envisions an equitable and excellent education system that provides all students the opportunity to succeed and elevates the teaching profession.
