After ten years as a teacher in DC Public and Charter Schools, Scott founded and now directs an education non-profit called EmpowerEd which lifts the voices of teachers to improve our schools. We work to elevate the voices of diverse DC teacher leaders and help our schools retain educators. During my teaching career in various settings, he has been involved in teacher leadership, policy leadership and instructional leadership roles. He has spent a significant amount of time writing on and informing public policy on education as well as teaching and conducting teacher training in various countries including Indonesia, Togo, and Mexico. Empowering our young people and the adults who serve them is the cause of his career.
