Teachers have been a near-silent force for a century. We have been transforming minds, bringing up generations of well-rounded community members, and helping students on their individual paths toward self discovery. Often, our role in the community is to provide infrastructure, support, and cheerlead. We rally our towns together after wins, and remind them of the important fabric that weaves us together after challenges. 

While there are more than 3 million unique and diverse teachers in America, the threads that weave us together are strong. We have a shared way of life; a similar lived experience, regardless the size and shape of the communities we serve. 

Now, we have a voice, a rallying cry, and a set of stories built to pour life back into our profession. Empowered magazine is the first of its kind: a magazine by teachers, for teachers. We’re glad you’re here.
