New Partnership: Aspen Policy Academy and Teach For America

  • Article Published October 23, 2025

We are excited to announce our new partnership with Teach For America (TFA) to expand leadership training for rural educators. This workshop series will enhance TFA’s Rural School Leadership Academy (RSLA) fellowship by providing policy training to connect classroom realities to district- and state-level decision-making. 

The Policy Academy’s 4 workshops will equip RSLA fellows with the policy entrepreneurship tools to shape rural education and achieve long-term impact. These lessons will build on RSLA’s 13-year track record of supporting the career development and retention of rural educators. At the end of the partnership, the 70 fellows will earn a co-branded certificate of leadership development from the Policy Academy and TFA.
