Host Sonja Grant talks to a principal, teacher, and scholars from Alliance College-Ready Middle Academy 4, in South L.A./Watts, to learn how the Reimagining the Alliance Educator pilot program is contributing to greater sustainability for teachers, and how in just the first year of piloting the program, we're already seeing better outcomes for our scholars.
Through the pilot program, Middle 4 implemented a 4+1 model, where teachers have one full day of structured planning time, as well as 2 or 3 separate planning blocks with clear deliverables, each week. In total, all teachers have roughly 11 hours of weekly planning time. To support the school’s goals of continuing to grow math outcomes, Middle 4 also launched an expanded math intervention program.
This pilot program is about so much more than scholars getting an A or B on their report card. It's about preventing teacher burnout and giving them the time to do their job from a more refreshed position. Knowing that in the wake of the pandemic, there's been an increased need in our most vulnerable populations, the additional planning and collaboration time is helping teachers to be more effective in the classroom. Reimagining the Alliance Educator is making a real difference in the well-being of teachers AND scholars!
