Extended learning opportunities have emerged as a useful way to rethink how schools are organized and funded. That includes reconsidering who teaches and how they go about their work. That effort should be guided by four key policy considerations and goals: 1. Reengineer the role of teacher. 2. Rethink K-12, higher education, and community-based organization resources. 3. Reallocate resources to fuel innovation, and 4. Reframe accountability to focus on the spread of teaching expertise.
