Educators face challenges at every turn. Between trying to meet standards, working within budget and regulatory restrictions, getting parents on board, and keeping up with developments in education and ed tech, it’s no secret that educators have one of the toughest jobs out there. But here you are. You show up every day to make a difference in your students’ lives. You are a catalyst for learning and you’re not alone. When catalysts come together, dramatic transformation in education is possible.

It’s time to show the world that passionate, visionary educators are everywhere. It doesn’t have to be lonely on the cutting edge. Join the movement of ed tech catalysts like you, expand your professional learning network and find like-minded educators who are making a difference. The students of today and tomorrow need you to elevate their voice, advocate for them and deliver learning that allows them to thrive in a connected world. In other words, they need you to be a catalyst for them, your colleagues and the education community as a whole.
