WHAT IS EDUCATORS RISING?
Educators Rising is a diverse, teacher and student-led grassroots movement that aims
to inspire high school and college students to serve their communities by entering
the field of education. School-based chapters are located in every U.S. state, where
students practice the necessary skills to lead a classroom while adding student voice
to National discussions around education.
OUR MISSION
We aim to foster excellence within the state of Alaska by supporting middle school
through collegiate level students on their path to become Alaskan educators. Our purpose
is to inspire students from across the state, creating a scaffold on which rural and
urban students can be encouraged, nurturing their enthusiasm to become future educators,
administrators, counselors, aides, and supporting staff.
