The Educator Collective (TEC) is a first-of-its-kind professional community for teachers and school leaders. Through evidence-based, year-round programming, TEC connects, equips, and empowers educators to excel in their careers. 

Our Approach

| Community Building

Combating educators’ commonly-felt isolation through a cultivated peer-support network.

Leadership Development

Promoting educators’ professional growth through strategies and opportunities that equip them to lead without leaving.

Well-Being Initiatives

Equipping educators to manage the high demands of their profession through strategies that improve teacher retention, instructional quality, and student outcomes.

ABOUT TEC

Since the organization’s inception in 2017, TEC has built a network of 6,000+ Dallas-area educators representing hundreds of district, charter, and private schools. Program evaluations have consistently shown that the educators TEC serves are much more likely to sustain their careers in the classroom and credit TEC’s programming with fueling their retention.

 

TEC is elevating the status of the profession and keeping great teachers where they are most needed: in the classroom.

SPOTLIGHT

TEC has greatly benefited my career. Through TEC’s network, I was able to plug into a teacher community that I desperately sought as a transplant from Chicago. I have never come across another organization that makes teachers feel as appreciated and valued as TEC does.
