Teachers in Their Power

Teachers in Their Power can only continue with financial support, and your help is urgently needed. Donations help cover the cost of travel for interviews & photographs to amplify more teacher voices.


The Project:

Through a combination of photography and interviews, Teachers in Their Power profiles the American teacher, quilting together perspectives from communities across the country. The goal is to foreground teachers as humans, not heroes — and in a sea of systemic challenges, to focus on what can be done to help powerful teachers stay. 

Because teacher voice is vital to meaningful policy change, the project focuses on empowering and entrusting teachers to share their stories long after the project is done.
