Our Story
Educators Rising cultivates highly skilled educators by guiding young people on a path to becoming accomplished teachers, beginning in high school and extending through college and into the profession.
Starting in high school, Educators Rising provides passionate young people with hands-on teaching experience, sustains their interest in the profession, and helps them cultivate the skills they need to be successful educators.
At the national level, Educators Rising supports the implementation of cocurricular high school programs in which students explore the teaching profession and gain authentic, hands-on teaching experience. Through the EdRising Virtual Campus, we provide teachers and school leaders with resources to establish and teach these courses β from implementation guidance to curricular materials. Teacher leaders facilitating the courses have access to a national network of counterparts, peers, and experts for sustained support.
Educators Rising also offers opportunities that can be woven into cocurricular programs to extend and amplify their impact. This includes a national student conference, competitive events where students can demonstrate their leadership and teaching skills, the Educators Rising Honor Society, micro-credentials, scholarships, and more.
