Welcome! Thanks for visiting TeacherPensions.org, a new website covering the latest information on teacher pensions. While you’re here, please take a look at our collected resources on a variety of topics, ranging from politics to legal issues to alternative retirement models. We intend the site to be an entry point for experts and non-experts seeking to learn more about educator pensions, and we’ll be expanding the archives over time and featuring new work as it comes out. Check back often--we'll be regularly updating the site with new analysis and content.
This page is the Teacher Pensions Blog, where we’ll be discussing pension news, highlighting the latest research, and featuring a variety of experts and perspectives on the pension issue. If you're looking for even more pension-related information, sign up for our RSS feed or follow us on Twitter. If you want to subscribe to semi-regular updates (we promise not to spam you), sign up on our homepage.
Teacherpensions.org is a project from the Thought Leadership team at Bellwether Education Partners, a nonprofit dedicated to helping education organizations – in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors – become more effective in their work and achieve dramatic results, especially for high-need students. To do this, we provide a unique combination of exceptional thinking, talent, and hands-on strategic support. Our Thought Leadership practice works to shape the broader education policy landscape by conducting policy analysis, research and writing, and idea generation on education issues and advising education entities on policy and public affairs. See the “About Us” section for more information about us and this site.
Today, we believe there is a need for high-quality information and analysis to help stakeholders – especially teachers and policymakers – understand the teacher pension issue and the trade-offs among various options for reform. We believe the teacher pension issue has not yet gained sufficient attention nationally, despite its seriousness and immediacy. We aim to make the issues around teacher pensions more accessible and relevant to the general public, more compelling to policymakers, and more understandable for current and future teachers.
Again, thanks for visiting, and we hope you’ll make this site a regular stop.
