The NEA Foundation Launches New Online Courses to Support Educators

by the NEA Foundation


To equip educators with the impactful tools they need to lead and transform their profession and public education, the NEA Foundation has created and is sharing a set of open-sourced online courses. The courses were created to provide union and district leaders, and the education sector, with skills and knowledge to support and inspire effective labor-management collaboration necessary for systems change. “The evidence is clear. Effective education policy and practice can more likely be achieved if the wisdom, experience and expertise of educators at the frontlines of practice is systematically brought to the table,” said Harriet Sanford, President and CEO of the NEA Foundation. “For teachers and unions to be a part of the key decisions that will shape the future of the teaching profession, they must have knowledge and capacity on issues of teaching and learning. These courses are designed to help build both their knowledge and leadership skills.”
