Mission & Vision of Teacher Voice & Leadership in Wisconsin

The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI), Association of Wisconsin School Administrators (AWSA), Wisconsin Association of School District Administrators (WASDA), Wisconsin Education Association Council (WEAC), and other partners are dedicate to elevating teachers as experts and leaders in and beyond their classrooms, schools, and profession to achieve equity and excellence for all students.

We believe every Wisconsin teacher is a leader. Teacher leadership is not defined by role or title - teachers lead at the classroom, school, district, and state level.

See the Every Teacher a Leader website for more information.

What is the WI Every Teacher a Leader Summit?

The WI Every Teacher a Leader Summit is a place to bring your teacher leadership idea, develop that idea into an actionable plan with a team, and meet others who can help along the way. As a Powered by Teach to Lead event, participants have access to national and state supports.
