Leading The Local
Filed under: Education Labor by Leo Casey @ 8:26 pm
We’re not shy about criticizing Education Sector when it publishes less than completely thoughtful attacks on teacher unions and collective bargaining agreements.
All the more reason to give credit where credit is due, and commend their publication of Leading the Local: Teachers Union Presidents Speak on Change, Challenges.
This is a solid, interesting and informative piece of research on the views of a new generation of teacher union leaders from six different states [other than New York]. The team of authors from Harvard’s Project on the Next Generation of Teachers, led by Susan Moore Johnson, have an impressive record of scholarship on new teachers and teacher unions, and bring solid credentials to this work. The result provides real insight into the dynamics of teacher unions in an era of educational change.
