If you could share One Big Idea to change the future of education, what would it be? 

In the 15th episode of Future of School’s One Big Idea series, our guest is Rudy Flores, who has 30+ years of experience in education as a teacher, principal and superintendent. Rudy is now Executive VP & Chief Development Officer for ChanceLight Education.

Rudy shares his big idea of a portable national credential for teachers. He describes how the national teacher shortage makes this an urgent priority. With his idea, teachers’ certifications and licensures can be transferred across states. This would help address areas of need in different states who are short on teachers with certain specializations or other areas of expertise. Even in the absence of specific shortages, it would allow teachers with adequate experience and expertise more options in their careers and, as a whole, benefit students by expanding access to highly qualified teachers.
