Who is the TeachBetter Team?

Teach Better helps educators...well, Teach Better. The Team is on a mission to create a world where every educator is connected, supported, and inspired to be BETTER every day; so that all learners can discover and develop their passions to positively impact our communities.

The Teach Better Team has been built on best practice instructional pillars, but without a growth mindset, Professional Development is like throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. It is our belief that the first step toward being better, every day, begins with carrying a mindset focused on being open-minded to small steps. That is the foundation of what we do; The Teach Better Mindset to be Better today than we were yesterday. And Better tomorrow than we were today.
