Teachers’ Empowerment and advocacy League

Education shaped with teachers— not just for them.

TEAL helps educators turn classroom experience into actionable policy and curriculum from the classroom - up!

Our Current focus

TEAL is a teacher-led nonprofit that builds bridges between educators and the organizations shaping education reform.
