This week, on February 17, 2015, Educators 4 Excellence - Los Angeles published a policy
paper on teacher tenure titled, Reimagining Tenure Protecting Our Students and Our Future.
In the study, published as a working
paper on the
Teacher Policy Research website, researchers from the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia and the Stanford University Graduate School of Education used data for New York City public schools to examine a reform initiated in 2009 that altered the process by which
teachers are granted
tenure following their third year of teaching.
