In team-based models, these community educators add capacity to deepen and personalize learning as extended team members, complementing the work of professional educators to help meet the needs of all students.
The Next Education Workforce works with schools and school systems to pilot and scale team-based roles for community educators tailored to the goals and context of each school community.
