The Elephant Educators Forum serves as the official website for the NEA-Republican Educators Caucus, a diverse group of dynamic teachers & education support professionals who are organizing nationwide to promote the great public schools agenda. Information about events, controversial issues, ideas and regional activities of the NEA-Republican Educators Caucus is openly exchanged here on the forum.

The Elephant Educators Forum is an on-line advocacy group dedicated to improving American public education through increased cooperation and understanding between Republican Party Organizations and the Teacher's Unions.

As MORE THAN ONE MILLION loyal registered Republicans who are also proud active NEA & AFT professionals, we are all devoted to creating excellent public schools.

Elephant Educators genuinely respect political diversity and believe in honest debate; therefore we invite conservative, moderate and liberal NEA & AFT Republicans to find a common home here on our forum. We understand that our engaged involvement in the political process will assist in changing the dynamics surrounding public school improvement. Elephant Educators will help both the Republican Party and our Teacher Unions to find common ground around our shared values and vision, recognizing the vitally important role that both the GOP and the NEA & AFT play in achieving educational progress.

Our primary goal is to improve the relationship between Republican Party organizations and Teacher's Union affiliates at all levels. Certainly, our on-line forum will expose both positive and negative examples from both sides as well as carefully monitor current issues, events and controversies. Our lively on-line postings will encourage extensive conversations between pro-public education GOP political leaders, Republican NEA & AFT activists and friends who wish to contribute to our healthy dialogue.

Ultimately, an essential purpose of our forum is to make both the GOP and the NEA & AFT better organizations. Elephant Educators hope that both the Republican Party and the Teacher's Unions will become more effective partners in advancing the quality public schools agenda.

As "Horace" our mascot illustrates, the Elephant Educators Forum enthusiastically welcomes you to join with us under the Big Tent.
