The Caucus of Working Educators of the PFT is a member-driven organization with distributed leadership. It is led by a Steering Committee elected by dues-paying members of the Caucus. The Steering Committee provides guidance to the membership and is the central location for all communication with members. Steering Committee elections take place in September of even-numbered years; officers serve two-year terms beginning that October. The committee is comprised of 4 Caucus members from the PFT, and a fifth associate member representing our alliances with parents, communities, and other education workers. As of October 2018, the WE Steering Committee officers are as follows:

Katrina Clark has taught for 14 years, currently at The Workshop School. She helped successfully organize a union at Olney Charter, including drafting the language of its first contract. She serves as a WE regional organizer in West Philadelphia, providing development and support for rank-and-file PFT members in redefining an engaged, social justice union.

Kelley Collings has been a Philadelphia public school teacher for 18 years. She and her colleagues at Feltonville School of Arts & Sciences helped fuel the local Opt Out movement when they publicly organized 40% of the families at their school to opt out of high-stakes testing. Kelley is a founding member of the Caucus of Working Educators, as well as a leader in the Teacher Action Group of Philadelphia and a member of Teachers Lead Philly and Need in Deed.

Ismael Jimenez has worked with Philadelphia students ranging from preschool to high school for 12 years. Currently, he teaches African-American History at Kensington Creative and Performing Arts High School and is an active member of its Building Committee. Ismael has also facilitated several professional development sessions at the School District on issues ranging from structural racism to bridging the knowledge gap of students that manifests between high schools and postsecondary institutions.
