Five Foundations for Student Success

Randi Weingarten

Randi Weingarten is the president of the 1.5 million-member American Federation of Teachers and the former president of New York City’s United Federation of Teachers. A former history teacher at Clara Barton High School in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood, Weingarten helped her students win several state and national awards debating constitutional issues.

Weingarten has launched major efforts to place education reform and innovation high on the nation’s agenda. She has advocated a number of flexible, proactive approaches to improve teaching and learning, including a new template for teacher development and evaluation; a fresh approach to due process for misconduct cases; ensuring teachers have the tools, time, and trust to succeed; and forging collaborative labor-management relationships. More than fifty AFT local unions and their district partners have begun work on new systems to develop and evaluate teachers based on the AFT model.
