Stop Fixing Teachers. Start Fixing the System

Teachers don’t need more PD about time management—they need fewer meetings. They don’t need a seminar on burnout—they need sustainable expectations.

Too often, “reform” focuses on fixing teachers. But what about the system that stacks impossible demands on their shoulders? The policies that ignore classroom realities? Are the evaluations tied to variables beyond their control?

We can’t coach our way out of structural dysfunction. Real reform means fixing what’s broken above the classroom—not just within it.

Support teachers by changing the system they’re asked to survive in.
