The Academy was founded in 2011 to honor and support teachers as valued professionals in need of the latest knowledge and inspiration.
Our premise: by respecting teachers and giving them the support they need, we will keep them where they belong—in the classroom inspiring our children for years to come.
Our mission is to honor and support teachers through world-class learning experiences that inspire them to continue changing lives, in the classroom and beyond.
