Educators Rising Iowa - Competition Conference - at University of Iowa - March 11, 2026 - SAVE THE DATE!!
One of the keys to building a successful Educators Rising Iowa Chapter is for each school building to identify a Teacher Leader to serve as the Chapter Advisor. Resources are provided from the national and state levels to support you in your work at the local level to have an engaged chapter, prepared competitors for both state and national events, and student leaders at all three levels!
All Teacher Leaders for your building and district need to join now on the national website, in order to gain access to available resources. Teacher Leader membership is for adults who are leading an Educators Rising program at their school. Membership is FREE.
Once you have registered through the national database, you will have access and can start exploring all the exclusive content by logging in to the Teacher Leader Resources Section of the EdRising Membership Portal (hosted by our parent company PDK International).
As an approved Teacher Leader of Educators Rising, you have access to all kinds of great resources to help you lead and manage your Chapter. Whether you are just starting out or are a seasoned veteran, we recommend that you review all of the resources available to you.
Note: You must be an approved teacher leader to access the EdRising Membership Portal. If you do not see Educators Rising High School Resources in your side navigation on the national website, you may not have joined/renewed as a teacher leader or your membership is pending approval.
Join our Educators Rising Iowa - Teacher Leader Cohort - to be notified about upcoming monthly meetings and to gain access to our state shared Teacher Leader Resources folder by contacting edrisingiowa@gmail.com.
