Our Story
Exemplary Educators was founded to address the urgent need for stability in classrooms across rural, urban, and indigenous communities. Recognizing the alarming trend of students being taught by long-term substitutes or alternatively certified teachers, the organization set out to create a solution. Through collaborative brainstorming, a unique coaching cycle was developed to support new teachers, helping them become confident and competent educators.
As the organization grew, it became clear that the model benefited all teachers, leading to a rebranding as Exemplary Educators. The mission expanded to include online coaching, administrator training, and a Grow Your Own Certification program, ensuring that every child has access to exemplary educators.
