Louisiana Teacher Leaders

The Louisiana Teacher Leaders make up a group of over 5,000 outstanding educators from around the state who are focused on high expectations for students. This group was born out of three core beliefs:

  • Those closest to students are best positioned to make instructional decisions;
  • The state has a role in providing resources and training directly to teachers;
  • Teacher Leaders are a powerful voice in training fellow teachers.

The Department offers Teacher Leaders a blend of high quality tools and resources along with in-person and virtual trainings to help them achieve ambitious results with their students.


  Louisiana Teacher Leader Advisors - Collaborate. Create. Impact.

Louisiana Teacher Leader Advisors are an exceptionally talented group of educators across Louisiana who play an influential role in raising expectations for students and in ensuring that fellow educators across the state have access to high quality instructional materials and resources, and curriculum-aligned professional learning. Teacher Leader Advisors participate in the Department’s Instructional Materials Review process, create tools for the Teacher Support Toolbox, and develop and lead both virtual and in-person professional development for educators across Louisiana.

  • K-12 Math Instructional Materials Review; and

Interested educators should apply by 5 p.m. on September 16.
