Investing in Teaching: An Agenda Developed by the National Alliance of Business

Leslie Graitcer
Executive Director, BellSouth Foundation

Leaders of America’s major corporations came together under the umbrella of the National Alliance of Business to develop an agenda for improving all elements of the teaching profession: teacher education, professional development, and compensation. Titled Investing in Teaching, the report is the result of a national conversation among business leaders, governors, teachers, administrators, and teacher educators at a series of regional meetings held across the country.

In this session, Graitcer outlines the key recommendations in this agenda for change. More about the development of the report, including a downloadable version of the text, is available from the Business Roundtable.
