At CRPE, we study how the teacher workforce can evolve to meet students’ changing needs and create more sustainable roles for educators. Our research explores new staffing models, including ASU’s Next Education Workforce™, that reimagine how adults collaborate in schools—shifting away from the one-teacher, one-classroom model toward team-based approaches that expand instructional capacity and support. We examine how these innovations can improve teacher retention, elevate the profession, and ensure that students have access to diverse expertise. By analyzing emerging models and their impact, we aim to understand how the education workforce can be redesigned to better serve both students and educators.
