Professional Development Resources for Educators

Teaching is more than a career. It's a calling of purpose and passion for educators to change lives. Although it can be rewarding, this profession is often met with rigorous challenges and lack of support that can unfortunately lower the drive and morale of even the most passionate teachers.

Be an advocate: Lopes Teach Up strives to transform the rhetoric of education by shining light on the profession and brightening its outlook. Our mission is to shift the current conversation surrounding the hardships of teaching to refocus on how education is a career of servant leadership. It's an opportunity to empower, enrich and elevate students in impactful and enduring ways.

Let's join as one in the spirit of education! Together, we can support one another and follow our higher purpose as champions of teaching and learning for better futures.
