Session Summary

The Effects of Teacher Policy Reforms on Collective Bargaining Agreements and Teacher Employment

Tue, April 17, 8:15 to 9:45am, New York Hilton Midtown, Floor: Third Floor, Rendezvous Trianon

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

Recent reforms intended to improve the quality of teaching in American public schools have targeted teachers’ collective bargaining rights as well as legislation governing teacher protections fought for by their unions. This panel assembles current research on the impacts of these policies, studying a diverse array of policy changes across multiple state contexts (California, Washington, Michigan and Louisiana). The papers in this panel draw on theories rooted in several disciplinary backgrounds and employ a range of quantitative and qualitative methods. The session will provide new and innovative evidence to enhance researchers’ and policymakers’ understanding of the true impacts of recent teacher-focused policy reforms on teacher mobility, collective bargaining agreements, teacher protections and the relationships between teachers and administrators.
