q1 · i? · theoretical · r2
The document's argument section on moving past piecemeal policies asserts this consequence of fragmented policy, offering no empirical data here; it is the authors' policy argument for coherent, aligned systems with consistent expectations across the career continuum.
"Piecemeal policymaking creates different, sometimes contrary, expectations for educators; overburdens and confuses educators; and can drive talented teachers and school leaders out of the profession"
