Educator-led Turnaround in Philadelphia Now

There is greatness on the ground in our schools and communities which can be unleashed to radically transform our lowest performing schools.

Philadelphia's public schools need a policy that provides for, enables and encourages qualified and effective teachers and principals to lead the transformation of our schools, working with parents, students, and community partners.

We are calling on you to join us in support of this policy and work with us to make it a reality.

It is urgent that we improve our schools through all possible avenues and our educators are a vast source of untapped potential.

Why is this important?

Improving schools means more than just closure or a change in management. There is a great source of untapped potential waiting to be unleashed in our schools and communities. We need a policy on educator-led school transformation in Philadelphia. For more information contact OneVoice Philadelphia. Groups in OneVoice Philadelphia include: Teacher Action Group, Philadelphia Student Union, West Philly Coalition for Neighborhood Schools, Parent Power, Education Voters PA and others.
