Note: Rick Hess is on sabbatical through May 6th. If you're missing him, you might try to catch him while he's out and about discussing his new book Cage-Busting Leadership (available here, e-book available here). For updates on when he might be in your neck of the woods, check here. Meantime, a tremendous lineup of guest stars has kindly agreed to step in while Rick's gone and share their own thoughts on the opportunities, challenges, implications, and nature of cage-busting leadership.
Guest blogging this week is Ariela Rozman, CEO of The New Teacher Project. TNTP recruits and trains effective new teachers, builds better teacher evaluation systems, helps school leaders nurture and reward excellent instruction, and advances smarter teacher-quality policies.
At TNTP, we wake up every morning focused on one goal: putting more great teachers in front of the students who need them most. Decades of research tell us that this is the most important thing schools can do for kids.
In the past few years, we've been known for our reports about the policies that prevent urban schools from hiring and keeping effective teachers (most recently, The Irreplaceables). But TNTP's main work has been recruiting and training new teachers through our Teaching Fellows programs, highly selective alternate-route programs designed to help districts start every year with a trained teacher in every classroom.
