In the news: Dean Carole Basile Q&A with Rick Hess in EducationWeek
Carole Basile, dean of Arizona State University’s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, discusses the appeal and expansion of the Next Education Workforce models with EducationWeek.
“Through the Next Education Workforce initiative, colleges of education, schools and others can build a better and different kind of education workforce and learning environment,” says Basile.
Basile argues that teams of educators, with a variety of expertise, can deliver deeper and more personalized learning to students.
Next Education Workforce models are currently serving 6,600 students in 27 schools in Arizona. A Gates Foundation grant will fund the initiative in California schools. As part of its Learning 2025 initiative, the School Superintendents Association is incorporating professional learning for school leaders interested in Next Education Workforce models.
