Teacher Union Reform Network


TURN (Teacher Union Reform Network) is a union-led effort to restructure the nation's teachers' unions to promote reforms that will ultimatley lead to better learning and higher achievement for America's children.

The TURN Mission Statement recognizes that the past adversarial relationship among union leaders, teachers, and administrators must be replaced with a compact that says "we are all in this together." Everyone recognizes that this will be difficult, but, succeeding in this new and unpredictable environment can only be assured by the mutual effort of administrators, union leaders and teachers, and the creation of a new social framework to hold it together.
