Venerating teachers, schools key to education reform, says David Bosso, Connecticut teacher of the year - Courant.com: "If the goal is to nurture the values, habits and skills related to lifelong learning, critical thinking, democracy and global citizenship, and if we recognize that teachers are integral to this process, then we must act in concert to strengthen the profession. This includes having open-minded, honest and respectful discourse about how to move forward in a constructive and mutually beneficial way. Test results, evaluation practices, accountability measures and standardization are useful, but when they take precedence over the aforementioned ideals of education, we are surrendering to politicized forces.
