The Pennsylvania Educator Diversity Consortium (PEDC) is a statewide collective committed to transforming education by reimagining and diversifying the educator workforce.

We believe every student deserves to thrive in a learning environment led by educators who are diverse, culturally relevant and sustaining, and deeply supported. Grounded in equity and driven by collaboration, we are building a future where educational excellence and justice are inextricably linked — OR — where educational excellence and justice go hand in hand.

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.

Envision What’s Possible

It is time to reimagine schools as inclusive, joyful, and affirming spaces—where every learner is affirmed and valued in their identity and every educator is supported to lead, grow, and belong. Through six regional networks that elevate local voices and foster collaboration, we are cultivating culturally relevant leadership and co-creating the conditions for lasting, systemic change.
