Mission & Vision

Our Vision

We envision all students having access to knowledgeable educators who believe in them and who work in schools with strong cultures of professional practice.

Mission

Our mission is to ensure that: 1) effective and caring teachers support every student to learn and achieve at high levels and that 2) skillful and persistent leaders provide knowledgeable and insightful guidance for every school and school district.

Commitment to Action

We achieve our mission through three integrated, mutually reinforcing actions:

  • We pursue policy and legislative initiatives that establish rigorous standards, professional supports, and accountability for educators
  • We research and further develop promising practices that advance school leadership and student learning, and
  • We provide robust professional development opportunities that strengthen teacher and leader expertise.

Together, these actions ensure substantive and sustainable change to the profession, reflecting Teachers21‘s commitment to ensuring high levels of learning for all students.
