Students achieve at higher levels when adults responsible for their education know them well and are skilled, organized, and resourced to meet their learning needs. This section currently highlights two reforms that support these goals: common planning time and interdisciplinary teams.  Each is designed to strengthen teaching and learning through regular, substantive collaboration among teachers who work with a common group of students. Strategies in this section focus on breaking down teachers’ sense of isolation, providing meaningful and effective approaches to continuous skill development, and fostering individual and collective responsibility for student learning. Additional strategies we hope to cover in the future include: peer mentoring, coaching, and networks; job-embedded professional development; and incentives.
