How does a CTSO add value to your education career pathway program?
PDK International
Established in 1906, we support teachers and education leaders through the entire arc of their career.
Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) are pivotal in enriching Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, especially those focused on education career pathways. By integrating CTSOs like Educators Rising into your district, you cultivate a robust “Grow Your Own” strategy, encouraging graduates to return as educators, paraprofessionals, or in other vital roles, thereby strengthening the community’s educational framework.
Establishing an Educators Rising chapter offers students a wealth of opportunities, including:
? Community Engagement: Students become part of a supportive network of peers and mentors, fostering collaboration and shared learning experiences.
? Competitions and Contests: Participation in events allows students to showcase their skills, gain recognition, and receive constructive feedback, enhancing their professional growth.
? Expert Learning Opportunities: Access to insights from experienced educators and industry leaders provides students with valuable knowledge and inspiration for their future careers.
At the 2024 Educators Rising National Conference, in partnership with the Teaching Channel, attendees shared their experiences, highlighting the profound impact of such events on their educational journeys.
Starting an Educators Rising chapter is straightforward and impactful—it can begin with just one teacher and one student. By doing so, you open doors to numerous opportunities for aspiring educators, fostering a culture of growth and community involvement.

By embracing CTSOs like Educators Rising, your district not only enhances its educational pathways but also invests in the future of the community, ensuring a continuous cycle of growth, learning, and excellence.
