(THE ORGANIZATION") IS TO ENSURE THAT TEACHERS HAVE A LEADING VOICE IN THE POLICIES THAT IMPACT THEIR STUDENTS AND PROFESSION. OUR NATION'S EDUCATION SYSTEM IS LEAVING MILLIONS OF STUDENTS-INCLUDING AN OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF STUDENTS OF COLOR AND LOW-INCOME STUDENTS-UNPREPARED FOR COLLEGE, CAREER, AND LIFE. WHILE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT CLASSROOM TEACHERS ARE THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT IN-SCHOOL FACTOR IN IMPROVING STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, THEIR DIVERSE VOICES ARE CONSISTENTLY LEFT OUT OF EDUCATION POLICY DECISIONS. FOR FAR TOO LONG, TEACHERS HAVE BEEN TREATED AS SUBJECTS OF CHANGE RATHER THAN AS AGENTS OF CHANGE. PART III - LINE 4A SINCE ITS INCORPORATION IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION ON AUGUST 25, 2010, EDUCATORS FOR EXCELLENCE, INC. HAS BUILT A MOVEMENT OF FORWARD-THINKING EDUCATORS IN NEW YORK, LOS ANGELES, MINNESOTA, CONNECTICUT, CHICAGO, AND BOSTON WHO WORK TOGETHER TO IDENTIFY ISSUES THAT IMPACT OUR SCHOOLS, CREATE SOLUTIONS TO THESE CHALLENGES, AND ADVOCATE FOR POLICIES AND PROGRAMS THAT GIVE ALL STUDENTS ACCESS TO A QUALITY EDUCATION. OUR THEORY OF CHANGE IS GROUNDED IN TWO LONG-TERM GOALS THAT ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED: BETTER OUTCOMES FOR OUR STUDENTS AND THE ELEVATION OF THE QUALITY AND PRESTIGE OF THE TEACHING PROFESSION. WE ACHIEVE THIS BY: -BUILDING A MOVEMENT OF FORWARD-THINKING TEACHERS THROUGH GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. -IDENTIFYING AND TRAINING TEACHER LEADERS WITHIN THAT BROADER MOVEMENT TO TAKE ON KEY POSITIONS OF INFLUENCE IN THEIR SCHOOLS, DISTRICTS, STATES, AND PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANTLY, WITHIN THEIR TEACHERS UNIONS. -CREATING TEACHER-LED POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS IN ORDER TO BRIDGE THE DIVIDE BETWEEN POLICYMAKERS AND THE CLASSROOM. -ADVOCATING FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF TEACHER-GENERATED POLICY IDEAS. -SCALING THIS MODEL TO REACH CRITICAL MASS IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
