The Teacher as SomebodyBy: Stu Ervay The Teacher as Somebody details the creative conditions where teachers become thoroughly empowered for academic leadership, decision-making and action-taking. Especially relevant in today's COVID-19 climate, this book links academic goals to innovative instructional strategies, enabling teachers to be the expert curriculum developers. The underlying premise of The Teacher as Somebody debunks traditional school district management systems. Instead, a complete overhaul is offered, affecting academic decision-making and action-taking processes. Thus, teachers become advocates for their own innate abilities as well as the students they inspire. The message of The Teacher as Somebody is an outgrowth of 30+ years of educational experience as well as a definitive link to The Curriculum Leadership Institute (cliweb.org). CLI's success provides evidence that The Teacher as Somebody is not simply one author's idea. It is a direct reflection of what actually works to improve the American educational system.

How can American schools change their framework for student learning? Piecemeal repairs to a thoroughly broken system are not enough. A misguided national school improvement policy and confusing modifications are no procedural quick fix to these problems. The New Learning Infrastructure offers a systemic way of thinking, leading, and acting by local decision-makers and professional educators with the courage to act. Some changes include: teacher partnerships and teaming, assertive local academic leaders, and strong chief academic officers and building leaders. With a redesigned curriculum and a redefined definition of accountability, teachers become professional somebodies. The New Learning Infrastructure offers techniques and a cultural determination to make American schools better.
