Breaking the Mold without Breaking the Bank: A Guide to Transforming the Teaching Job
Education Resource Strategies
Reimagining the teaching job requires redesigning the underlying economic structures of the job with new staffing plans, redistributed schedules, competitive compensation models, and adjusted conceptions of what counts as "learning time." This document outlines actions that build toward longer-term transformation, rather than short-term solutions. It shows what this transformational change might look like in the context of five different "catalytic entry points," or starting points for holistically redesigning educator roles. The goal is to demonstrate how leaders can fundamentally restructure teaching roles to improve educators' and students' day-to-day experiences--without spending money and resources on actions that offer only short-term benefits.
