Our Coordinating Body
Our Coordinating Body is a dedicated, dynamic and diverse team of educators who lead our network with commitment and passion. We are 29 members strong with 55% teacher voice representing all grade levels and experience across the educator career continuum.
We center teacher voice and utilize a continuous improvement model to make positive changes in our systems that help teachers succeed in every stage of their career.
The Coordinating Body has established priorities and areas we believe will make progress toward our aim. We share local context, value lived experience, honor our diverse perspectives, and collaboratively build and strengthen our network vision.
