In the face of yet another crisis in teaching, it's time for a bold and comprehensive plan to revitalize and better support the profession. Education expert Linda Darling-Hammond explains how the current shortage of teachers is not entirely new, but the result of decades of cutting programs, lack of respect for the profession and poor working conditions for teachers. She recommends that, drawing on models from other countries and some U.S. states, the United States should establish the equivalent of a Marshall Plan for education, taking steps ranging from strengthening teacher recruitment to a better Elementary and Secondary Act focused on gauging school progress around equity indicators and authentic measures of school quality.
