Educators for High Standards was founded to equip educators to amplify their voices as they advocate for the needs of their students and fellow educators. With a focus on high standards, aligned assessments, and meaningful accountability, we know that teachers are uniquely positioned with first-hand knowledge and expertise to make sure that efforts in these initiatives are student focused. Over the course of the 2017-2018 school year, The Collaborative for Student Success supported the Teacher Champions in designing and implementing state advocacy projects aligned to one of our core areas of focus. The Teacher Champions in Arizona, Kentucky, Michigan and Wyoming engaged parents, community members, teachers, and legislators in a variety of ways to ensure that schools, districts and states are working to give all students access to high quality education.
