NEXT EDUCATION WORKFORCE

If you only have 10 minutes, check out this video that captures the big idea of the Next Education Workforce and clicking around the Next Education Workforce website.

If you have 30 minutes, Explore this overview slide deck (the presenters notes provide a bit of helpful color), Dean Carole Basile’s blog post What’s a college of education for?, the What is the Next Education Workforce? resource collection (and specifically this 8:00 minute podcast), and the SPARK School spotlight.

If you have closer to 45 minutes, you might also check out:
- Other School Spotlights that showcase models in action and how they vary by grade level and community context (see Westwood HS, in particular)
- A set of beta-versions of training for community educators (imagine if every parent/family member/volunteer took the Read Aloud training)
- Resource collection related to financial models that support innovative staffing
- A few descriptions of how the Next Education Workforce creates new opportunities in specific instructional models – for example, Authentic assessment worktime and Thematic learning rotation
And…if you know of any school systems/states that might be interested in designing team-based staffing models, check out these opportunities to join our launching and learning cohorts in partnership with AASA:
