| PART III - LINE 4A | Educators for Excellence, Inc. was incorporated on August 25, 2010 in the State of Delaware as a not-for-profit corporation. Educators for Excellence formed to elevate the prestige of the teaching profession and improve outcomes for students. Educators for Excellence works to (i) provide its members (current and former teachers) and the public AND EDUCATION POLICY MAKERS with critical information about education and (ii) create an active and informed group of teachers and citizens who engage in education policy debates. To this end, Educators for Excellence presents research, analysis and education materials intended to inform the public and to enrich the country's discourse on education policy issues. In so doing, Educators for Excellence advances the debate over one of our country's most pressing issues - education CHANGE - to ensure that all students receive an excellent education. The Organization operates programming activities across five regions - New York, Los Angeles, Connecticut, Minnesota, and Chicago. PART III - LINE 4A Educators for Excellence believes that for far too long, educators have been left out of the conversations that impact their PROFESSION AND THEIR STUDENTS. As a result Educators for Excellence aims to build an active community of educators and citizens who are committed to a thoughtful and thought-provoking debate on education policies that are focused on increasing student achievement. Recognizing the direct correlation between quality instruction and student success, Educators for Excellence promotes the idea that training, supporting, and retaining high-quality educators is essential to improving the quality of education Through its website, educational events, training programs, research, analysis, and fact based reports and issues briefs, Educators for Excellence works to ENSURE TEACHERS' VOICES AND IDEAS ARE INCLUDED IN THE PUBLIC POLICY DIALOGUE ON THOSE ISSUES, which it believes are critical to improving the quality of instruction and, by implication, our public education system. Educators for excellence pursues its mission through the following programmatic activities that fit into three main areas: learn, network, and take action. LEARN: Research: Educators for Excellence collects, summarizes, and organizes research regarding various issues related to education policy, including the advantages and disadvantages of various proposals for educational change. These materials are available to members and the public on Educators for Excellence's website, free-of-charge and, ultimately, will be used by Educators for Excellence to put forth its own policy goals. Website: Educators for Excellence's website, www.educators4excellence.org, serves as the primary communications forum for the organization. While it links to, and presents information about, a wide variety of education proposals, the website primarily focuses on issues that Educators for Excellence believes are fundamental to improving the prestige of teaching and the quality of education students receive. NETWORK: Training Programs: Educators for Excellence has developed educational materials and instructional programs for teachers that are designed to empower them to become leaders in their schools, school systems, unions, and the broader conversations around educational change. Conferences and Events: Educators for Excellence hosts events, panel discussions, online discussions, and other such events and conferences to explore and discuss issues related to education policy. TAKE ACTION: Press Outreach: To promote Educators for Excellence's ideas and inform the public regarding education policy issues generally, Educators for Excellence reaches out to the media in a variety of ways, including meeting with editorial boards, issuing press releases, appearing on television and radio programs, and being interviewed by reporters, as well as connecting educators directly to the media for similar opportunities. Teacher Leadership: Educators for Excellence trains teachers to give them the skills and background information necessary to advocate for the changes they believe will elevate the profession and improve outcomes for students. The particular policy positions that Educators for Excellence works on through the means listed above are the result of careful research and analysis, coupled with collaboration and discussion with teachers, and extensive surveys of current and former educators. |
