Meet AdoptAClassroom.org’s Teacher Leaders

About Our Teacher Leaders

AdoptAClassroom.org’s Teacher Leader program centers teacher voices and celebrates teachers as professionals in their field. Our Teacher Leaders serve as a resource to the AdoptAClassroom.org community. They offer ambassadorship and inspiration through sharing their expertise, fundraising tips, creative projects and favorite supplies from our vendors.

Teacher Leaders are innovative, collaborative and have experience raising donations on AdoptAClassroom.org. Most of all, they are passionate about sharing their experiences with other educators as we work towards advancing equity in education, one classroom at a time. 

Learn about current and past Teacher Leaders below. Log in or register and create an AdoptAClassroom.org classroom page to put their resources to use. If you’re interested in being a Teacher Leader next year, email us at [email protected].
