Teacher burnout and instructional quality are often treated as separate challenges. Education leaders argue they share the same root cause: how the teaching profession is designed.

Kalam Id-Din II, Founder and Managing Partner, Ember Charter Schools ‪@embercharterschools6526‬ Aylon Samouha, co-founder and co-CEO, ‪@Transcend_EDU‬ If we want stronger outcomes for students, we need to redesign teaching itself. Speakers highlight schools where educators thrive alongside students, demonstrating that strong collaboration, shared leadership, and meaningful professional growth lead to better instruction and higher retention. The conversation explores replicable staffing designs, including organizing teaching as a team sport and creating adult learning experiences that mirror the conditions schools want for students. #TeacherRetention #TeacherLeadership #EducationInnovation #FutureOfTeaching #NewSchoolsSummit Watch all Summit 2026 sessions:    • NewSchools Summit 2026   Learn more about NewSchools Venture Fund: newschools.org
