Carole G. Basile is the Dean and Professor of the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College at Arizona State University, where she is nationally recognized for pioneering the Next Education Workforce movement—a structural redesign that replaces the traditional “one teacher, one classroom” model with team-based approaches that better support learner variability and educator well‑being. With more than 30 years of experience spanning educator preparation, organizational design, and national policy influence, Basile has led transformative work focused on equity, community partnership, and system-level change. Her leadership blends creativity, research-grounded innovation, and an entrepreneurial mindset, helping institutions rethink how educators are prepared, how schools are structured, and how technology—including AI—can strengthen human relationships in learning. Her work now reaches hundreds of schools across the U.S. and internationally, positioning her as one of the most forward‑thinking voices shaping the future of education.
