Leading and Learning

Great schools demand great leaders.  Our work trains educators in all phases of their careers, from the classroom to the principal’s office to the central office. School-based work, teacher quality and promoting leadership are the pillars on which our Leading and Learning initiatives are based.

We believe that the world can be our school. Fortunately, we aren’t the only ones. Fund for Teachers is a national nonprofit that understands how important it is for teachers to experience the world first hand so they can share their knowledge with their students.

Fund for Teachers offers teachers opportunities to travel in the U.S. or across the globe in search of cultural enrichment, new teaching methods and fun and exciting ideas for the classroom. We believe enriching experiences like traveling to Alaska for a wildlife cruise, attending summer institutes at Columbia University and studying the culture in Costa Rica lead to teacher development inside and outside the classroom. And that means impacting the lives of our students in a powerful way.

Fund for Teachers is a partnership between PEF and Fund for Teachers in Houston, TX.
