RESPECT Vision Released for Comment
From ED.gov Blog:
What would it take to make America’s most important profession also America’s most valued profession?
To answer this question, 16 Teacher Ambassador Fellows — active classroom teachers working temporarily for the U.S. Department of Education — have been listening to teachers all over the country. They have held over 200 roundtable discussions with thousands of their colleagues to talk about how they envision a transformed teaching profession.
The result is a teacher-written vision document, available on our website here [MS Word, 164KB].
We invite you to review and comment on the newly-released vision statement for the RESPECT Project. The new vision statement has been divided into sections so that readers are able to comment on a particular part of the vision at a time.
