Academia willing to help with Blueprint education reform plan

Before leaders of Maryland’s 24 school systems meet deadlines this year to show how they will continue implementation of the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future education reform plans, they can seek assistance from certain scholars at the University of Maryland, College Park. The school’s College of Education released a teacher career ladder framework last month with recommendations on professional development, peer evaluations and job descriptions. The document also includes policy briefs from parts of the Blueprint legislation approved in 2021.
