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.
Drawing from the experiences of high-performing charter school networks, this white paper examines why districts struggle to close the achievement gap, what portfolio district leaders can find when they look outside the traditional system for gap-closing solutions, and how new schools are able to do what traditional schools have not.
This final report from the four-year Inside Charter Schools initiative examines how charter schools differentiate themselves from traditional public schools to attract students and families and how they recruit and manage their staff.
This brief describes how a different method of supplying benefits to employees might work for districts: cafeteria plans. While typical school district plans offer a one-size-fits-all package of benefits to employees, cafeteria plans allow employees to customize their benefits within a given cost.
A look at New York City and Washington, D.C., this paper shows how portfolio—and perhaps traditional—districts can transform talent management from a bureaucratic staffing system into a core leadership function.
