New Haven teachers’ pact sets standard for school reform - Rockford, IL - Rockford Register Star:
"New Haven, Conn., is 800 miles away, but we’re excited about a groundbreaking agreement there last week on a teacher contract.
Education Week said the New Haven contract could be a model for the nation.
What’s important about the contract is its flexibility and potential to advance school reform goals. Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, told The Wall Street Journal: “I rarely say that something is a model or a template for something else, but this is both.”"
