Government Is Broken. These Guys Can Fix It.

Flexible teacher hiring

We need great teachers, but the “highly qualified teacher” provision in No Child Left Behind, imposed with the best intentions, isn’t productive. School districts must engage in two distinct activities: jumping through hoops to check the box indicating their teachers meet the ‘highly qualified’ designation—while actually improving teacher effectiveness by recruiting top talent and investing in their development. We will transform our educational system only when we empower local leadership; micromanaging by central mandate produces incremental change, at best.
