With the presidential election coming
up, I believe it is important for teachers to have a clear understanding of
each candidate’s plans for education in our country. That being said, for the next two weeks, I
will be researching and outlining each candidate’s plans/thoughts on
education. I am by no means endorsing a
candidate. I just firmly believe
teachers and parents should know how each candidate would like to shape our
future in education.
This week’s focus is on the current
state of education in our country. Race
to the Top is President Obama’s mark on education. This initiative awarded grants to states that
met certain qualifications and made changes to improve the state’s education
system. The focus of those changes
centered around improving teacher and principal effectiveness. As a teacher in Tennessee, I have experienced
first hand the effect of these changes.
While that is not the focus of today’s post, it does allow me to share
my experiences with Race to the Top.
Next week, I will go into further detail about President Obama’s
education initiatives.
