Reimagining the Alliance Educator
by Jass Stewart
Educators across the country are dealing with a burnout crisis, as the aftermath of COVID-19 has highlighted significant learning loss among scholars, and increased demands and stress on educators. Alarmingly, in the state of California, one in five teachers is now considering leaving the profession within the next three years. Alliance College-Ready Public Schools, the largest and one of the most successful public charter school districts in the country, is working to solve this problem through their innovative pilot program, “Reimagining the Alliance Educator”. Through an exhaustive, research based process, Alliance has more than doubled the planning time for teachers, and increased both academic intervention and enrichment opportunities for scholars across their pilot schools. Already it's making a big difference in the work-life balance of their teachers, and is directly impacting the lives of the scholars they serve. Hosted by Alliance VP of Network Initiat
