We agree that our world is rapidly changing, and we must adapt our classrooms to meet the moment.

Our education system is failing teachers and the students they serve, with a mere 16% of educators recommending the teaching profession. This has to change.

Which means our contracts have to change.

What if they empowered teachers to lead the classrooms of tomorrow? What if they enabled educators to better serve students? And what if they granted flexibility for a community’s needs? Wouldn’t that be an amazing evolution of the teaching profession?

There’s a lot to be hopeful about. And there’s a lot we can do. And it all starts where we agree.
