PRESENTATION OUTLINE
MISSION: To become a catalyst for reform. I will become a leading authority on educational policy and lobby for an advocacy group focused on student-centered success.
• All American students deserve the right to attend a successful public school, regardless of their physical residence.
• All students deserve the right to be taught by highly-effective teachers who are evaluated on a multi-faceted system which includes, but is not limited to, standardized tests.
• Highly-effective teachers should be paid according to their educational level and time in the classroom, and that pay should be on par with experienced professionals in the private sector.
• Post-secondary education program requirements should be elevated to ensure only the top candidates are admitted into the profession.
• Proper training and support systems built on mentoring and positive feed-back should be in place to encourage teacher retention.
• Students and teachers are more than standardized test scores.
• Multiple vocational program options should be required at every public high school in America and funded accordingly.
