Teachers

As an educator, I believe the strength of our education system is derived from the dedicated men and women who teach our children. We should be taking steps to attract and retain the best teachers and to provide them with the resources and support they need to succeed. I have consistently supported professional development for teachers, and I am proud that North Carolina ranks highest in the nation in terms of the number of National Board Certified Teachers.

Although there are some programs already in place to support our teachers, such as the Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program, there is more that can be done to support educators and keep them in the classroom. That's why I have sponsored two major education initiatives of my own to help address the enormous challenge of teacher recruitment and retention. My Teaching Fellows Act, based on the successful North Carolina Teaching Fellows Program, would encourage our nation's best and brightest students to become teachers. Major provisions of this initiative were enacted as part of legislation to reauthorize the Higher Education Act in 2008. My Keep Teachers Teaching Act is designed to unleash innovation at the state and local level to solving the teacher retention issue, and would support promising retention programs such as the Kenan Fellows Program.

I have also consistently cosponsored legislation that would expand, increase and make permanent the tax deduction for educators' out-of-pocket classroom supply expenses, and would extend the tax deduction to cover out-of-pocket professional development expenses.
