We support a network of educators to advance the practice of progressive education and to cultivate equity and justice in public and private schools.
Connecting Educators.
Engaging Students.
Promoting Equity & Justice in Schools.
PEN is a thriving network of thousands of educators and hundreds of partner schools across the United States and internationally.
With roots as the Progressive Education Association beginning in 1919, PEN maintains relationships among like-minded progressive educators through our biannual national conference, our flagship professional development NIPEN, and numerous virtual gatherings. We seek to inspire each other to continually strengthen our practices of teaching through progressive principles.
Connect with the progressive education community – in person and online – via open houses, symposia, institutes, job fairs and much more. Partners can also easily share events with the network.
Support the ongoing growth of our network by becoming a partner school, and gain benefits like online job posting and a presence on this website.
School communities can benefit from connecting to our network.
