Teacher Tenure Reform: Applying Lessons from the Civil Service and Higher Education
This new paper from Public Impact examines lessons from higher education and the civil service and applies fresh thinking to offer new “elite” and “inclusive” tenure designs that could improve student learning and help grow the size and power of an elite teaching corps that reaches far more children.
The report also provides a framework for policymakers who want to make tenure meaningful.
Discussions about tenure nearly always fall into the “keep it" or "scrap it” camps. This paper inserts level-headed thinking into the K-12 tenure debate. Read the full report here.
