On Autonomy and Teaching
Thursday, 30 April, 2026

Alexandra Chang, Frank Marino, and PJ Nelson sat down to talk with Cara about the importance of teacher autonomy. They highlighted that autonomy is relational and teacher autonomy requires work with others. They also stressed that teacher autonomy has been increasingly limited by mandates – making it hard for teachers to do well by children.
