Teach Plus works to improve outcomes for urban students by ensuring that a greater proportion of students have access to effective, experienced teachers. We work with outstanding early career teachers who want to continue classroom teaching while learning about innovative policies and creating proposals that will help to retain strong teachers in urban classrooms.

Teach Plus offers urban teachers opportunities to:
CONNECT with reform-minded peers and local and national education policy leaders;
LEARN about innovative policies to empower and retain effective teachers;
BE A VOICE for change within the teaching profession.
