Growing your chapter
-
Partner with your colleagues and/or neighbor schools so students can observe teachers in action! Use quick reflection prompts to guide learning and build insight into the profession. (available on Teacher Leader Resources page)
-
Invite your students to teach short lessons to younger grades. It’s fun, confidence-boosting, and shows others what Educators Rising Alaska is all about!
- Connect with other Alaska chapters for virtual projects, shared lessons, or peer feedback. Builds community and fresh perspective.
- Let students share their learning at staff meetings or in school newsletters. It highlights growth and inspires new members.
