State Policy
We believe that in order to influence their state’s education policies, teachers must be in the rooms with policymakers engaged in conversations about their students’ and their own lived experiences, their challenges, and the solutions.
2024-2025 Policy Impact Highlights
In 2024-2025, Teach Plus teacher leaders played an instrumental role in advocating for major policy changes for students across the country—from Pennsylvania's $560 million in school funding and Illinois's paid student teaching law to Texas's historic $8.5 billion education investment and state-level literacy reforms in multiple states. Our teacher leaders championed 79 bills, published 177 op-eds, and delivered 232 pieces of testimony, driving real change on issues like college and career readiness, literacy instruction, educator diversity, and equitable school funding that directly improves outcomes for students.
