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.

Each year, Educators Rising hosts a national conference to convene our network of rising educators and teacher leaders. It’s a unique opportunity for students and their teacher leaders to:

• Connect and learn from each other through more than 40 breakout sessions;
• Network with other members from across the country;
• Compete for national titles in competitive events designed to allow students to develop and showcase their teaching skills; and
• Be inspired by keynote presentations from national education leaders
