Get on the EIX School Bus - Let’s go!

Welcome to Educational Impact Exchange! We are a group of dedicated educators and leaders who strive to support multilingual and dual language learners and educators. Our mission is to provide resources, tools, and support to help these students and teachers succeed in their educational journey.

As an educator or educational leader, you know firsthand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with being proficient in a different, let alone multiple languages. From navigating different cultural norms and expectations to leveraging the cognitive benefits of multilingualism, it can be a rewarding but sometimes difficult path.

That's where we come in. Through our coaching and professional learning, we aim to connect multilingual and dual language learners and educators with the practices and resources they need to thrive. This includes everything from helping teachers craft and sharpen their linguistically and culturally sustaining lesson plans and instructional practices to providing site-based and online professional learning opportunities in a community of educators who are puzzling through how best to support their students.

We believe that all students, no matter their language background, deserve access to high-quality education. By supporting multilingual and dual language learners and educators, we hope to make a positive impact on the education landscape and help create a more inclusive and equitable world.

We hope you will join us on this journey and become a part of the Educational Impact Exchange community. Let's work together to empower multilingual and dual language learners and educators to succeed!

Paul Teske, PhD

I've spent more than 30 years in education, from middle school classrooms to graduate school, though most of my career has been spent helping educators learn, connect, and grow. I'm the founder of Education Impact Exchange (EIX) and former VP of Engagement at Teaching Channel. My interests span how people think, learn, and relate to one another, and how we can turn that understanding into better learning experiences.

Outside of work, I'm usually cooking, gardening, hiking, making art or pottery, traveling, or tackling a home project. I'm endlessly curious about people, including myself, and what it takes to become a better human.
