Lasting Impact Starts Here

We measure our impact not only by who begins teaching, but by who stays connected to the work, strengthens school communities, and creates lasting opportunity for learners.
Three strategic priorities. One strong educator workforce
City Teaching Alliance’s impact begins with educators and extends to learners, schools, and communities. Our strategic priorities guide how we strengthen pathways into teaching, support educators throughout their careers, and build the partnerships and organizational capacity needed for lasting change.
Impact grows through partnerships
Partnerships allow us to connect educator preparation to real school-community needs, support educators in context, improve workforce systems, and learn what helps talented people stay and lead.
The C.A.R.E Difference
Educator retention is shaped by more than preparation. It is also shaped by whether educators feel connected, supported, equipped, and empowered to grow.
Care is how we help educators build relationships, navigate systems, access practical resources, develop professional confidence, and see themselves as leaders. It is also how we help partners build workforce solutions that recognize the human realities behind retention and long-term school success.
Placing Teachers at the Center
Teachers at the Center is City Teaching Alliance’s national listening tour on the future of education. Across communities, we are listening to educators about what they love, what they need, what makes the work harder, and what will help them thrive, stay, and lead.
The tour will translate educator insight into a national white paper, practical recommendations, and an action-oriented policy agenda.
