BATON ROUGE, LA – The Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) is now accepting applications for the Teachers Advisory Council, a group of educators from across the state who meet with State Superintendent Dr. Cade Brumley and other state leaders to share feedback on education initiatives and issues impacting classrooms.
The application period is May 15 to June 12.
The Teachers Advisory Council gives Louisiana teachers a direct opportunity to elevate classroom perspective and help inform discussions on policies, programs, and supports that affect teachers and students across the state. Council members represent a range of school systems, school types, grade levels, and communities. The council was created to ensure teachers have a formal role in conversations about decisions that impact student learning.
The council meets with state leaders on a quarterly basis to discuss issues, laws, rules, and policies affecting teachers and their students. The council has provided feedback on topics including math, literacy, attendance, accountability, professional learning, and teacher recruitment and retention.
All Louisiana K-12 public school teachers are encouraged to apply.
Applications must be submitted by June 12.
Established through Senate Concurrent Resolution 33 of the 2022 Regular Session, Dr. Brumley developed the Teachers Advisory Council to enhance teacher voice and gather educator feedback on current education initiatives and how Louisiana can continue to improve student outcomes.
