A CHANCE TO LEAD WITHIN OUR MOVEMENT
Empowered is committed to empowering teachers and transforming education. To achieve this, we’ve established the Teacher Advisory Board (TAB), a platform for educators to collaborate directly with our team and shape the future of our resources.
A Collaborative Approach
TAB members serve one-year terms, providing invaluable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing today’s teachers. By working closely with this diverse group, we can ensure our tools and resources effectively meet the needs of America’s 4 million+ classroom professionals.
Building on Our History
TAB is a continuation of Empowered’s commitment to teacher collaboration. Our previous “Ambassador” program, which ran from 2018 to 2021, provided valuable feedback on our resources in middle and high school business classes.
A Growing Community
Empowered, now serves 35,000+ educators nationwide, a significant boost from the 1,500ish teachers we helped during the days of our Ambassador program. This expansion underscores the need for a formal platform to gather teacher input and ensure our offerings remain relevant and impactful.
Diversity and Inclusion
The 2024 TAB cohort reflects the diversity of today’s education landscape. We hope to further expand cohort diversity including geographic representation, socioeconomic backgrounds, perspectives, and career stages, etc. in 2025.
Listening and Adapting
As Empowered CEO Lindsay Downing-Schroeder notes, teachers have a lot on their plates. “We want to be a valued partner, not just another task. By actively listening to teachers’ we can create a more supportive and empowering set of resources for educators everywhere.“
A WIN-WIN PARTNERSHIP
TAB embodies “win-win focus”, one of Empowered’s eight Foundational Principles. By participating in TAB, educators contribute their valuable expertise and insights to shape our products and services.
In return, they receive compensation for their time and contributions, and exclusive benefits including:
- Swag packs: Showcasing Empowered’s brand and appreciation for their involvement.
- Content experiments: Opportunities to participate in innovative projects and provide feedback.
- Early access: Exclusive previews of new Empowered offerings.
- Strategic initiatives: Direct involvement in shaping Empowered’s future direction.
This mutually beneficial partnership ensures that TAB members feel valued and empowered to make a lasting impact on education.
