EDUCATORS
IT’S OUR TIME!
Join us to reclaim the teaching profession
and create a school system that works for the educators and children.
Over being micromanaged, over being told ‘how to teach’, over not being trusted.
You're frustrated, exhausted, and overwhelmed, and you’re feeling resentful or taken advantage of.
You’re not being treated as a professional - whether through lack of pay, the hierarchy system, or not being able to use your professional expertise - sometimes you daydream about leaving the profession and watch colleagues you love leave.
Or you envision what schools will be like if everyone leaves, and what would happen to children and our public schools without professionals teaching them - the thoughts are too much.
What can you do? How do you stick with something that feels so alienating and degrading?
It would be nice to stop holding onto the thread of: 'I’ll just shut my classroom door and teach”.
YOU’RE SO OVER IT…
Let’s build a movement, joining together as educators and cultivate our power together.
With 39 combined years teaching in the classroom (11 years teaching side-by-side in an alternative school), having taught pre-COVID, during COVID, and post-COVID in the classroom with children, while experiencing a national movement to dismantle public education (including ACT10 in Wisconsin) and an increase in deprofessionalization through having less autonomy, more obligation, and more demoralization; we can say, we get it!
Welcome to Educators amplified.
Teachers have been made to feel that NO MATTER WHAT you have to stay in this system of education “for the kids”.
A profession where you must ‘do as you’re told’: sit in ‘professional development’ that zaps your passion, follow curriculums and pacing guides that don’t match child development, and have every minute of your day dictated, with no time to pee.
We KNOW there's a better way.

Hi, we’re Hallie & Joanna.
We started Educators Amplified to offer what we wish the system of education would provide - connection, balance, power-with, love.
We were sick of being told what to do, when it didn’t make sense for children; or jumping through hoops in the name of ‘accountability’, we were wasting so much energy on busy work and never getting to the root of what was bothering us.
We want to have a space for educators to connect, to speak openly and honestly, to offer a narrative that isn’t shared to the public.
A space to be seen. A space to be heard. A space where your strengths are celebrated!
Educators - let's reclaim our profession!
