The EdAmbassadors initiative seeks to amplify the voices of educators – those with the greatest insights into the policies and practices most impacting students, educators, schools, and our state.

The EdAmbassadors initiative has three primary goals

1) Engage educators in EdNC and Reach NC Voices initiatives

2) Connect educator-driven networks to share skills, experiences, stories, and perspectives about policies and practices that most impact students and their work

3) Elevate the voice of educators to enhance, deepen, and diversify EdNC work

The design and work of EdAmbassadors will be led by an advisory board of educators from across North Carolina, representing a range of experiences, perspectives, and interests. For its initial year, the advisory board has selected three focus areas aligned with its goals of engaging stakeholders, connecting classrooms, and elevating teachers across the state.

School + Community Initiatives of Success: Showcase educator-selected stories and learning opportunities to inform and inspire.

Classroom + Instructional Tools of Success: Develop an accessible platform of educator-identified instructional practices to feature teachers who transform classrooms by bridging research and practice.

Gathering  + Learning: Lead convenings of educators to facilitate collaboration and development around educator identified topics.

Meet the first 10 EdAmbassadors
