This week's Living in Dialogue blog on Edweek.org, features a guest post by past MCEA President Mark Simon on how MCEA/MCPS collaboration has led to decreased teacher turnover and increased student achievement in low performing schools.
Specifically, the story details the collaborative intervention that occurred at Broad Acres ES starting back in 2000. While not always smooth, the story of Broad Acres has become a go to case study in how union/district collaboration can work. The study shows how decreasing teacher turnover has such a large impact on increasing student achievement and how long-term strategies, and not knee jerk "reforms," can lead to increased student achievement for our neediest students.
