About This Cause

TeachUNITED addresses the learning crisis in under-resourced schools by providing teachers with the tools they need to deliver an equitable, high-quality education. Our programs keep girls in school longer, help more kids graduate, and ensure the best teachers stay in the profession. TeachUNITED is tackling this global learning crisis by investing in teachers. We design custom teacher training programs with and for the educators of each community to help teachers adopt proven, high-impact teaching strategies through individualized coaching and engaging workshops. These programs improve student academic achievement as well as teacher skills, morale, and retention. TeachUNITED educators create engaging, student-centered lessons that prepare the next generation of students with the skills to graduate, earn more income, and disrupt cycles of poverty. We are working to improve educational systems and increase achievement for 5 million students by 2030. OUR IMPACT Based on a comprehensive analysis of 80,000 research studies on what works best in education, TU educators receive on-the-job coaching on proven teaching strategies which: 1. Close learning gaps of 2-3 years in a single school year 2. Have the greatest impact on social-emotional development, attendance, grade-level progression, academic achievement, and more 3.
