Great teachers make great schools. Teachers are critically important to the success of our young people. It is impossible to conceive of effective school reform without a strong emphasis on providing teachers the increased support they need to be more effective.
Too often — as policymakers and others debate issues such as compensation, evaluations, professional development, career ladders, mentoring and other supports — teachers' voices are not central to the conversation. That's why we're highlighting their work. Teachers must be included not only on issues that impact their work directly, but in all areas of education reform.
