Our Approach
We believe that regardless of individual experience with teaching or learning, teaching as a profession is worth elevating for Minnesota and our children, especially for communities of color.
Elevate Teaching is a team of experienced teachers and practitioners who are seeking systems level change throughout the education ecosystem. It's truly about building a cross-sector movement of education supporters who take on a personal commitment to change the prevailing narrative about teaching as a profession.
How We Approach Our Work
Creating A Community of Champions
Hold space for a learning
community to share and explore solutions, and to serve as a
feedback loop to the
communication strategies,
messages and tools developed.
Supporting Future Educators Ready to Take the Next Step
Support for future teachers
who are ready to take the next
step by identifying barriers
and creating solutions
and resources.
Communicating Impactful Narratives About Teaching
Infuse impactful and inspiring
stories and messages to
affirm the immeasurable role of teaching to advance a society.
The Action Network to Elevate Teaching
To realize our vision, we are activating the base by creating Action Network(s) of individuals and organizations committed to elevating the teaching profession through a process of continuous engagement. Our Action Network (ANET) consists of champions including current teachers, district leaders and staff, educator preparation staff, students, and parents/caregivers who are dedicated to shifting public narrative around teaching, to be one that is revered and recognized as valuable and impactful to our society.
Our Action Network connects regularly to stay updated and involved in the movement!
