Teacher Advisory Council
Elevating Classroom Experiences Through Teacher Expertise
The Initiative collaborates with the Teacher Advisory Council (TAC) to refine its innovative approach to professional learning in ways that are relevant to pK-12 teachers across the United States and beyond.
The TAC serves as a distinctive platform from which pK-12 educators can influence practices and policies pertaining to professional learning. TAC offers opportunities to share valuable insights about the challenges that teachers and their students are facing, collaborate with other educators who are passionate about teaching difficult issues, and provide incisive feedback on the Initiative’s programming. In participating, teachers help the Initiative develop relevant and responsive professional learning programs and online modules.
