Education Teacher Quality
One
of the keys to a good education is having skilled teachers
in the classroom. I commend the thousands of bright, talented,
dedicated individuals in our state and around the country
who have chosen to join this challenging and rewarding profession.
Teachers are on the front lines of our educational system,
and they deserve our support. I am concerned that the No Child
Left Behind Act (NCLB) places additional burdens on our teachers
while failing to provide the necessary resources for professional
development and other programs that help teachers to continue
their own education, thereby enhancing the education of our
children.
I am committed to ensuring that the federal government provides
adequate funding for good professional development programs.
I will continue to work to give our teachers the support and
recognition they earn each and every day as dedicated stewards
of our children’s education.
