AFT PRESIDENT RANDI WEINGARTENS PLAN TO TURN AROUND OUR SCHOOLS (Part 1 of 2)
Having recently reached reform-oriented contracts in cities around the country, Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, argues that schools can be turned around. It will take all the adults in the system pulling together, and ending the anonymity of kids, borne, for instance, of class sizes that are just too large. It will also take giving teachers a bigger voice, programs to support kids from disadvantaged backgrounds, and an improved evaluation system, including a process for dismissing under-performing teachers that is "fast and fair."
