We are a network of State Teachers of the Year and Finalists who use our teacher leadership to ensure that every student receives an outstanding education. We do this through our focus on practice, policy and advocacy.

We Believe...
  • Every student has a right to a high-quality education, regardless of background, race, gender, disability or socio-economic status.
  • To achieve educational excellence for all students, we must transform and support the teaching profession.
  • It is imperative that we involve our nation’s expert teachers in conversations about improving education.
  • Teacher leaders will transform the teaching profession and create, implement and sustain systems to solve our toughest educational challenges.
  • We must prepare our country’s future workforce to be competitive in a global economy and participate in a diverse, democratic country.
  • Educators must partner with families and communities on behalf of our nation’s children.
