Unlocking Teacher Contracts for Modern Classroom Design

Description:

Teachers are readying students for an unpredictable future. Doing so requires modern classrooms that are flexible, adaptive to changing conditions and responsive to community needs. Unfortunately, many schools are constrained by rigid structures often set by teachers’ contracts that prevent leaders from innovating and reacting to changing environments. In this session participants will explore nationally representative survey data detailing teachers’ vision for transformation of their profession and new research on how we can unlock teachers’ contracts as a vehicle for student-centered change.
