## Resource

Most schools ask educators to do too much with too little. Pablo Cesar Villavicencio (CEO of Alliance College Ready Public Schools) is changing that. In this episode, he reveals how his network doubled teacher planning time—from 4.5 hours to over 8 hours a week—resulting in higher morale, better instruction, and dramatic gains in college persistence. Discover how to leverage AI, reimagine school schedules, and overcome systemic funding shortages to fiercely protect teacher time. If you are ready to move past burnout and implement practical, equitable strategies that help teachers and students thrive, this episode is your blueprint. Hosted on Acast.
