Some new data from the 2025 RAND Corp’s American Teacher Survey tells a much more stark narrative about the stress, burnout, and challenges of doing the work. And, the comparisons between American educators and those around the world shows, contrary to our conservative friends’ rhetoric, America is far from #1. What does this mean for the teaching profession, and the future of our nation’s public schools? Also, we dig into a fascinating piece about a new effort in CA to reimagine what secondary schools can look like . From breaking down the old Carnegie unit infrastructure, to reimagining schedules, facilitates, and curriculum, could we be taking the first steps towards a bold new vision for school?
