The Educators’ Agenda

We are a dedicated community of educators from diverse backgrounds, committed to shaping a fairer, more just society in Chicago. We believe every student deserves high-quality education and opportunities, regardless of their background. Our goal is to break down barriers and create a supportive environment where all students, especially those from marginalized communities, can succeed. Beyond academics, we focus on nurturing students to lead purposeful, dignified lives.

After discussing the challenges educators face, we created an Educators’ Agenda with key issues for the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) Board of Education to address. Solving these problems will help students and educators thrive, free from discrimination and inequity.

Tell the CPS School Board: Implement the Educators’ Agenda

As Chicago sees our first elected school board members take office there has never been a greater need for a powerful bloc of student-focused, democratically-minded teachers to stand up and make their voices heard.

Through focus groups, policy study sessions, and educator feedback we are proud to present our educator priorities for the new school board. We urge the board to prioritize the key areas mentioned in the Educators’ Agenda.
