Top Social Influencers in K-12 Education for 2025

Teacher Certification Degrees created this list of top social influencers in K-12 education, ranked by number of X (formerly Twitter) followers. To qualify for our list, individuals must have experience as K-12 teachers or administrators. Professors without this background, even if teaching K-12-related courses, were not included. This list is ongoing, and we’ll continue adding influencers over time. We also plan to include new platforms as they gain popularity.
