Transforming the Educator Workspace Together

At PEDC, we believe that every student deserves to be seen, supported, and inspired. We’re a collective of partners working across Pennsylvania to increase educator diversity and make culturally-relevant, sustaining education a reality in every classroom

You belong here. The Pennsylvania Educator Diversity Consortium (PEDC) brings people together across sectors to solve big challenges—this is what we mean by "collective impact."

At PEDC, we address complex challenges through collective action. Rooted in research and driven by collaboration, we advocate for and support the growth of a diverse educator workforce. Real change cannot happen in silos, which is why we intentionally formed a network of educators, agency, institutional and organizational leaders, students, families, and community members to co-create solutions.

DISRUPT.

Challenge the Status Quo.

Our educational institutions weren’t designed for equity—and it’s time to redesign them. PEDC works collectively to disrupt deep-rooted patterns of underrepresentation, inequity, and exclusion that continue to shape our schools, classrooms, and campuses.
