Of everyone in the Chalkbeat stable, my fave by far is Matt Barnum, who is consistently fair and good with numbers, so when he decides to run a listicle of ideas to "bolster" the teaching biz, I pay attention (especially since you don't see anyone get some good mileage out of "bolster" these days).

The piece is actually a follow-up to his piece about data suggesting that the worsening teaching exodus is a real thing, which is also worth a read. And since Barnum is talking about policy to bolster the teaching profession without using it as a smokescreen for his favorite policy ideas ("Let's do away with tenure! Let's reduce pay but offer bonuses based on spurious measures!"), I think it's worth looking at this list. Here we go!
