Registration Open for Conference on The Teaching Profession in the Era of School Reform

June 13, 2017

ERA-New Orleans will host a one-day conference at Xavier University on June 23.

Reg­is­tra­tion is open for ERA-New Orleans’ The Teach­ing Pro­fes­sion in the Era of School Reform. Space is lim­it­ed, and reg­is­tra­tion will close on June 15.

The Teach­ing Pro­fes­sion in the Era of School Reform will pro­vide a bal­anced and com­pre­hen­sive look at the recent evo­lu­tion of teach­ing under test-based and mar­ket-based account­abil­i­ty, informed in part by our recent stud­ies in Louisiana and in New Orleans.

Pan­elists will include local edu­ca­tors, admin­is­tra­tors, and non-prof­it lead­ers involved in the city’s schools, as well as edu­ca­tion schol­ars from across the coun­try and lead­ers from teacher prepa­ra­tion pro­grams. Pan­els will cov­er a wide range of top­ics, includ­ing the teacher pipeline, teacher unions and tenure, teacher eval­u­a­tion, and work­ing conditions.
