Helping Educators Be on the Right Side of History Virtual Summit

In March 2014, the U.S. Department of Education launched Teach to Lead. Today, in collaboration with Teach Plus and Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD), this initiative has equipped teacher leaders from throughout this country with the skills to create systemic and substantial changes in their schools, districts, and communities. ​

​

This past summer, CHARP EDucation Consulting became a supporting organization for Teach to Lead. CHARPED's  founder has been involved in this initiative since its inception. First as a participant, then as a scorer, critical friend, and presenter for the other summits. CHARPED provides customized training for educational institutions, nonprofits, and governmental agencies in diversity, equity, and inclusion. 

​

In April 2021, CHARPED will host a Powered by Teach to Lead Summit. The two-day regional convening will bring teachers, administrators, and students together to help spotlight and advance the teacher-lead work that is happening in this country. This summit seeks to do the following:

​

• Increase pathways and opportunities for teachers to exercise leadership while remaining in the classroom.
• Elevate teacher voice to inform and develop policy and practice at the school-level and beyond
• Expand existing efforts and create models to steer systemic improvements to benefit student learning
• Convene a diverse group of educators who can lend a variety of experiences and perspectives to the Summit.
