The mission of Teach Plus is to empower excellent, experienced, and diverse teachers to take leadership over key policy and practice issues that advance equity, opportunity, and student success.

We believe in equity-driven teacher leadership. When we invest in developing our most talented teachers into teacher leaders who are well-informed, persuasive, and prepared to lead, they have deep leverage in advancing equity for students, especially for students of color, low income students, and those from underserved communities.

We believe in delivering a mandate for student opportunity. All students should have the opportunity to achieve their potential in an education system  defined by its commitment to equity, its responsiveness to individual needs, and its ability to prepare students for postsecondary success.
