    America’s most effective teachers are often not in the classrooms where they’re needed most. Some new research shows other countries face the same challenge. But there are also places to look to for solutions.

    This just-released report outlines the rich conversations that took place among leaders from a set of the world’s highest-performing education systems about the impact of digitalization and other global trends on the future of work and civil society; what this means for what students should learn and how they should learn it; and how this might change the role of educators and the design of public education systems.

  • Middle school history teachers discuss their lesson plans for teaching about the Great Depression.
    Article1px solid #ddd

    There are too many incentives for teachers to leave the classroom and not enough for them to stay, NCEE’s Jason Dougal and Ann Borthwick argue in a commentary for K-12 Dive. Dougal and Borthwick lay out a vision for an education system in which teachers’ work environment is more like that of doctors and lawyers and they are rewarded for leading the growth of their colleagues. Implementing these changes in light of current teacher shortages will attract more people to education and keep them in classrooms longer.

    Superintendent Cederick Ellis found that replacing rigid class structures in an elementary school with a more student-tailored approach boosted student outcomes. He is now taking that approach to the rest of the schools in Mississippi’s McComb School District.
