Partner Organizations Announced

Learning Forward and the National Commission on Teaching & America's Future (NCTAF) are pleased to announce that the application process for the Agents for Learning Competition  is now officially open. The goal of the competition is to engage educator teams in advocating for the best use of federal funding for professional learning under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).

The theory of action behind the competition specifies that if states and districts engage teachers who understand their learning needs, the needs of their students, and effective professional learning, then they can co-create learning systems that substantially improve teaching and learning.
