About Us
Educators First Foundation is a 501 (c) 3 dedicated to improving the lives of education employees. For our current mission, that will focus on teachers.
We feel it is essential to give teachers the resources they need to do the job. At the top of the list is Teacher Mentoring. Other resources could include: personnel, supplies, support, knowledge, a strong salary structure, time to plan, rationally sized classes.
With high attrition rates and limited compensation, it is imperative to match the beginning teacher with the experienced teacher. Our goal is to partner the mentee with a best practices expert to help instill the confidence needed to continue teaching.
The foundation feels that it is important to make employees, parents, and all stakeholders aware of the impact that teachers have on the daily lives of students. In the past, the parent organization of the Foundation has carried legislation to provide planning time for teachers, fought for salary increases for all, supported the Grade Integrity Act to disallow educators to be forced to change grades, and repaired the broken evaluation system.
We are on a mission!
Let’s keep our teachers in the classroom motivating our future leaders.
