TY - JOUR AB - The following report represents our attempt both to synthesize the current landscape of the teaching profession in the United States and to identify areas of research, policy, and practice which show promise in strengthening the profession. To guide our development of this landscape analysis, we conducted a robust review of existing research on the state of the teaching profession, as well as of state and federal policies and programs. Additionally, we organized a series of three convenings between March 2024 and January 2025 to learn from diverse stakeholders across the field engaged working across schools, universities, non-profits, foundations, unions, and other organizations connected to the work of teaching and teacher education. In total, over 100 distinct education researchers, policymakers, practitioners, non-profit leaders, and foundation leaders attended these three convenings (Appendix A). Each of the individuals who participated in these convenings helped push our thinking and strengthen the findings and recommendations of this report.
