Baltimore’s Schools: The Teacher Unions’ View
Published: December 3, 2010
To the Editor:
“A Mission to Transform a City’s Beaten Schools” (news article, Dec. 2) accurately portrays a
school system that has made tremendous 1 for its students and community. Test scores were
already rising 2 Dr. Andres Alonso’s arrival in Baltimore in 2007, but he should be
commended for his vision and accomplishments in 3 Baltimore’s schools.
But smart, successful reform in Baltimore or anywhere else doesn’t happen without the input
and participation of the system’s teachers and their union. Dr. Alonso partnered with the
community and the Baltimore Teachers Union to achieve sweeping, even groundbreaking 4 .
This collaboration culminated last month in a contract that meshes unique reforms with school
improvement 5 that are working in other districts. For instance, the contract replaces the
conventional seniority system with a new career pathway that 6 educators to determine the
pace of their career advancement and associated salary increases. It also establishes a 7 of
collaboration and shared leadership.
Such a contract could not have been 8 if not for the respectful, cooperative
labor-management relationship — which ensures that everyone is rowing in the same direction.
Even when 9 were stumbles — such as when the parties had to renegotiate after B.T.U.
members rejected the first tentative agreement — no one resorted to finger-pointing or harsh
words; there was just a mutual 10 to make necessary changes quickly and move forward for
the sake of the students.
Other school systems that need to be transformed might consider looking at Baltimore’s
example for what works and what could be replicated.
