The Future of Our Education Workforce
The time has come to take a look at our education workforce, not from a recruitment and retention perspective but from a workforce design and development perspective. Who is in our workforce, who should or could be in that workforce, how do they work together, and what do our learners need to reach their human potential? These are questions that must be answered now and with urgency if we have any chance of sustaining and growing our public education system.
Carole G. Basile is the Dean of the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College at Arizona State University (ASU). As Dean at ASU, her work has centered on redesigning the education workforce and workplace–creating models for team-based teaching through the Next Education Workforce and enhancing the decision-making of educators through Principled Innovation. Her focus is to drive more equitable working and learning environments for educators and learners. She is currently working with education organizations nationally and internationally to design new systems for educators and their students and enable organizational change. Her most recent co-authored book is Next Education Workforce: How Team-based Staffing Models Can Support Equity and Improve Learning Outcomes. She currently serves on the board of Education Reimagined, American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, and Teach for America Phoenix, and Carnegie Project for the Education Doctorate.
