The Foundation’s purpose is to discover, recognize, and grow the next generation of great teachers and its initiatives have created new and exciting opportunities for practicing educators to impact the future of their profession. The TOP Foundation funds the Teachers of Promise Institute, which has honored more than 2,800 future teachers from more than three dozen college and university Schools of Education.
