About Educator Circle

The TeachAAPI Educator Circle is a supportive, nationwide community for educators who want to grow, connect, and share ideas to advance AANHPI representation in the classroom and beyond. United by a shared commitment to foster a deeper understanding of AANHPI stories as integral to the American experience, our goal is to support not just the work educators do, but also the people behind the role – helping them feel seen, valued, and empowered. By strengthening educators, we strengthen the students and communities they serve.

Core Offerings

Community & Connection: Connect with educators through regional meetups, conferences, & community-building opportunities, and ongoing communication via an exclusive Slack workspace.
Professional Development & Growth: Access workshops, trainings, & learning opportunities designed to support culturally responsive teaching and continuous growth.
Curriculum & Resources: Access and contribute to a shared library of classroom-ready AANHPI resources and materials curated by fellow educators.
