There's nothing that beats a great teacher when it comes to student learning. Yeah, I know that's not exactly a bombshell. But it seems that in this day and age of so called 'school reform' we have looked at, tinkered with and promoted so many other technological or organizational changes (some are advances, others...well, I'm less convinced) that we have missed out on one of the key ingredients that must be addressed.
Encouraging, promoting, training, maintaining and rewarding possible teacher candidates and those already serving our children must become our clarion call to action. I don't care what you call the school, to ignore the need for high quality teachers or to think that they will suddenly appear is absolutely ludicrous.
Those of us who have taught, are teaching and care about the children must stay on this mission!
Thanks,
Dick
