AFT NCLBlog

Breaking news….teaching and learning conditions matter. We’ve long known that teachers think so. See here and here. And now, it appears that most states agree. Or, at least according to this handy compilation by ECS, they do. In their recently-submitted plans to equitably distribute qualified teachers, 32 states offer strategies to improve working conditions and increase teacher retention in hard-to-staff schools.

That’s good news, though we’ll have to wait and see what gets implemented. A lot of these "plans" seem long on nonsense and short on a precise implementation timelines or action items.
