Teach to Lead

Launched in 2014, the Teach to Lead initiative was created by experienced educators with the goal of advancing student achievement by expanding opportunities for teachers to lead change and improvement in the policies and programs that affect their work without having to leave the classroom.

The initiative was lead by the U.S. Department of Education, Teach Plus, and ASCD, and was supported by more than 180 diverse Supporting Organizations. ASCD left the partnership in 2022.
