The National Teacher Council
on Modern Learning

The National Teacher Council, representing our nation's top educators, advocates for the progress of modern learning to benefit our students. We firmly believe that modern learning fosters a student-centered experience, tailored to develop the essential competencies required for success in today's world. Moreover, it effectively aligns students' strengths and interests, enabling them to seize opportunities and thrive in their chosen path.

The National Teacher Council on Modern Learning advises on modern learning best practices, and professional learning needs, and promotes engagement across the network through the collective voice of our nation’s top instructional coaches and teachers.
