In a new article, Laura Aka explores opportunities to support students in discovering their future interests and building the skills necessary to access relevant career opportunities beyond K-12.

Fu points out, “We are at historic 50-year lows in almost every dimension of teacher well-being—whether it’s the number of young people choosing to be teachers, teachers’ own measures of their satisfaction, the measure of teacher prestige in society, or teachers’ assessment of working conditions.
“What’s interesting is that the decline actually started pre-pandemic around 2011, accelerated during the pandemic, and has not really recovered.”
