Career Technical Student Organization (CTSO)

Educators Rising is committed to creating quality opportunities for high school students to pursue careers in education and helping them develop their teaching craft. Though we believe co-curricular pathways are most effective at providing sustained clinical experience, we support all educators who are interested in using Educators Rising resources to help students explore the profession in thoughtful and rigorous ways.

If you already have a co-curricular program of study in place, Educators Rising is simply a way for you to extend and amplify the learning that is already happening. The opportunities offered through the Educators Rising Membership Portal can be incorporated into your classroom to supplement the great work you’re currently doing.
