„While the policy landscape has redefined educational priorities, the consequences are most clearly felt in classrooms, where academic instruction has been increasingly subordinated to a host of non-instructional demands. Teachers today are expected to manage trauma, lead equity initiatives, implement behavioral systems, and comply with expanding documentation requirements while ensuring student achievement in core subjects. The cumulative effect is a dilution of the instructional focus at the heart of effective teaching.“
