VisionBy elevating the image of teaching, Educators Rising will attract dynamic and diverse students who will become tomorrow's great educators. History and governanceDuring the first half of the last century, the National Education Association initiated a Future Teachers of America program. Similar efforts were also made by various state departments of education, many local schools, and, most notably, by Jan Towslee. As president of the Association of Teacher Educators, Towslee made the development of the Future Educators of America a priority. In 1994, Phi Delta Kappa International took the lead on FEA and provided it with an international headquarters. In 2005, PDK changed the name to Future Educators Association to more accurately reflect the international nature of the organization. In 2015, FEA changed its name to Educators Rising, defined as one of seven divisions of PDK International, in this incarnation it set pre-service standards, built curriculum, and created tools to advance the education profession at an earlier age. Currently, Educators Rising is governed by the PDK International Board, which is composed of thirteen individuals elected by PDK's professional membership. External links
