Do you want to diversify and develop the educator pipeline in Illinois? If so, then join Educators Rising Illinois to elevate the education profession! By participating in Educators Rising Illinois, a school district is committing to excite future educators about joining the education profession through experiences, opportunities, support, and more!
Educators Rising is the ONLY Career & Technical Student Organization (CTSO) for ALL future educators. Future Teachers of America (FTA) turned into Future Educators Association (FEA). Then FEA transitioned into Educators Rising in 2015.
Does your district have a future educator club that isn鈥檛 Educators Rising? If they do, then they are missing out on JOINING THE MOVEMENT as well as accessing the planning resources, engaging activities, and so much more that EdRising provides.

What鈥檚 the difference between an EdRising curriculum site and a EdRising IL chapter?
- While there are many resources included with your annual CTSO chapter membership registration, the curriculum is a separate component that can be accessed for a fee with a site contract.
Why Choose the EdRising Future Educator CTE Curriculum?
It offers flexible, implementation-ready 1-day, 3-day, or 5-day weekly lesson formats. The curriculum is aligned to National Board for Professional Teaching Standards and inTASC Standards. 听The package also includes clinical experience resources, engaging lessons, thematic units, power points, student materials, and more. Additionally, there are online student assessments.
Curriculum Implementation Support
Monthly Group Coaching call is the first Monday of every month. During these calls, peer teacher leaders share tips and staff provides other valuable resources.
