The National Education Association (NEA) contends that solutions are at hand if policymakers, parents, and teachers themselves promote thoughtful and comprehensive strategies to address working conditions, school leadership, and teacher quality. That belief has prompted the NEA in partnership with the Center for Teaching Quality to  release Children of Poverty Deserve Great Teachers: One Union’s Commitment to Changing the Status Quo, a report that highlights what is needed to identify and develop teachers and to recruit and retain them for high-needs classrooms.

The Center for Teaching Quality, in partnership with the Aspen Institute, is pleased to release Creating and Sustaining Urban Teacher Residencies: A New Way to Recruit, Prepare, and Retain Effective Teachers in High-Needs Districts.
