Going to scale with teacherpreneurs 

About three years ago, Kappan published one of my first essays on teacherpreneurs where I made the case that we won’t achieve 21st-century teaching and learning without a bolder brand of leadership from those who teach. The problems of public education aren’t that America’s classrooms are filled with too many bad teachers or too few smart ones. Instead, policy makers are paying too little attention to mobilizing the many experts teaching today who could lead in powerful ways.  

Enter the teacherpreneur, who teaches students for a career and has “the respect (and income potential) of an endowed chair at a research university” and “time to spread and market their pedagogical and policy ideas across organizational and geographical boundaries” (Berry, 2011).
