AAE in the News: Shattering the Teachers Union Stereotype

 

"Do hard-working educators stand in solidarity with union leaders to protect the status quo? Hardly. To establish a credible teacher voice, we must recognize that teachers are not in lock-step agreement with unions as their leaders suggest.

Teachers are individual professionals with ideas and opinions valuable to the education-reform conversation. The vast majority of classroom teachers want to see students succeed and the profession evolve."
