The IEA Educator Voice Academies are designed to elevate the voices and highlight the successful practices of educators on important educational policy issues. For the 2024-25 school year, we will be working on implementing policy feedback collected last year, as well as holding ‘Strong Public Schools for All’ stakeholder listening sessions.

We are now accepting applications from IEA members to become Educator Voice Academy Fellows. We are working to support EVA Fellows in IEA offices from across the state. Fellows will pick a focus policy implementation issue to work towards improved implementation in their school or district. In addition, Fellows will collaborate with a statewide cohort to identify, elevate and implement educational policies that seek to Amplify Marginalized Voices. 

Fellows will receive regular training and support through the statewide EVA cohort, as well as personalized coaching from EVA Senior Fellows.

Every EVA Fellow will receive an organizing stipend and a Micro-credential. If you are not selected as an EVA Fellow, members can also participate in the program as Educator Voice Collaborators and will be positioned to be potentially selected as a Fellow in subsequent years. 

Please apply below. Applications will remain open through May 31, but apply as soon as possible as we will begin reaching out to applicants about next steps.
