SYMPOSIUM

The purpose of the symposium is to continue the public
conversation about the critical role teacher and principal
leadership will play as Iowans work to give students a world-class
education.
“Iowa has many exceptional teachers, and the 2013
transformational education reform elevates the profession to a
higher level by recognizing how teacher leadership can improve
instruction to raise student achievement,” said Branstad. “We look
forward to learning from those who have started to experience the
teacher leadership and compensation system as well as experts from
outside Iowa who are steeped in this work.”
“We want to ensure the Teacher Leadership and Compensation
System is as successful as possible, and the symposium is one way
to continue the dialogue and make certain our children are prepared
to be competitive in a global, knowledge-based economy,” added
Reynolds.
