WakeEd Partnership

WakeEd Partnership is a unique, strategic education nonprofit focused exclusively on transforming teaching and leadership modeling in Wake County Public Schools to provide students with the content knowledge and skills they need to succeed in a complex and changing workplace.

We are envisioning the future of Wake County as a dynamic workplace to prepare today's students for tomorrow's jobs.

We are connecting employers with educators to make a collective, strategic impact on Wake County's future workforce.

We are providing WCPSS educators with resources needed to engage students in innovative ways that address the rate of change in education and the modern workforce.

We are advocating for educators and school leaders at the state and national level in support of evidence-based best practices and policies that promote effective teaching.

For more than three decades, WakeEd Partnership has advocated for excellent educational opportunities for all students in the Wake County Public School System (WCPSS). To accomplish this, our programs aim at continual growth for students and educators.

The Wake County Beginning Teacher Leadership Network is a teacher-led young professionals network that aims to empower and retain beginning teachers in the Wake County Public School System.

SummerSTEM is an eight-day professional development program that enriches the educator’s understanding of Project-Based Learning as well as the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in the workforce.

Link is a semi-annual program that brings businesses and organizations together with educators to create possibilities for students. The projects that result from this strategic business engagement help students meet the challenges of a fast-paced, dynamic world.

Our Partners Read program places community volunteers in elementary schools to read with struggling first and second grade students.
