Leveraging the expertise of our state’s outstanding teachers to advance equity for students
Teach Plus trains teachers in understanding education policy as a lever for student success, community organizing, writing op-eds and speaking to the media, providing public testimony, and more. Teach Plus works to create and connect teachers to opportunities to lead in real ways at the policy level.
Teach Plus recruits and selects 20 Policy Fellows from across the state to participate in the cohort experience. You will become part of a larger movement of teacher leadership and help mobilize your peers around top issues impacting the teaching profession in Michigan. Teach Plus works with key stakeholders and policymakers to join the conversation.
Through the Teach Plus Policy Fellowship, teachers will benefit from the advocacy support and policy leadership from The Education Trust-Midwest (ETM). The Fellows will build off of the leadership of teachers in the Michigan Teacher Leadership Collaborative (MTLC), which was run in partnership between Ed Trust-Midwest and Teach Plus.
