Next Education Workforce™ strategic school staffing models empower educators to work in teams to deliver better outcomes and experiences.
Educators are burned out, unsatisfied and are leaving the profession. Fewer people are choosing to become teachers, leading to staffing shortages in U.S. schools. But, when schools are staffed by educator teams, teachers — and their students — thrive.
Arizona State University’s Mary Lou Fulton College for Teaching and Learning Innovation works with schools to design and implement strategic school staffing models that help address root causes of low and inequitable student outcomes, teacher shortages and burnout.
Early research shows promising results: lower turnover rates and more support for educators; and academic growth and greater levels of engagement for students. Learn how these models are improving outcomes and experiences for both students and educators.
We are all hard-wired as people to work together and yet, we ask our teachers to collaborate outside of the classroom absent of the children they’re serving. The model must change. A remedy exists in the Next Education Workforce, which is changing the design of how teachers work and how they’re supported. It could not have come at a more critical time.

There is no one-size-fits-all Next Education Workforce model. The diverse contexts, assets and needs of each school inform the design and implementation of each model. However, all Next Education Workforce models share several common elements. This document describes the Elements of the Next Education Workforce found across dozens of schools that have launched successful team-based models.
