BranchED is a professional services organization and a collective of university faculty and leaders advancing educational excellence by expanding individual capacity, enabling supportive relationships, boosting institutional effectiveness, and collaborating with communities.
BranchED was founded in 2017 as a non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening, growing, and amplifying the impact of educator preparation programs. In 2023, with the launch of its strategic plan, BranchED expanded its reach to include other higher ed institutions and PK12 districts. This new definition enables BranchED to break down silos and serve a wider range of higher ed institutions, PK12 districts, and communities.
Through our customized and relational learning opportunities, targeted supports, needed resources, and individualized coaching, we are developing compassionate and adaptive teacher educators who, in turn, develop highly effective teachers.
