Issues
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.
