    What strategies are being used to improve the quality of teachers?

    Early childhood education, preschool programs, and all day Kindergartens are important foundations for future student learning.

    "Beginning in 1984, Texas has required pre-K in school districts with at least 15 4-year-olds who are poor, homeless, or don't speak English."

    -Which is more effective: reforming individual teachers and schools or changing the whole education system?
    -Concerns about getting high-quality teachers have developed new requirements for teacher licensure, like high-stakes tests. I don’t feel as though tests accurately portray the intelligence of individuals.
    -“Let us reform our schools, and we shall find little need of reform in our prisons.”

    1. Are our schools competing in academics with other districts or states, and if so who is doing the best?
    2. "Most educators agree that by age 8 a typical developing child should be able to read, write, add, subtract, pursue a line of inquiry, function within the classroom enviornment, listen to and follow instructions, and avoid aggressive action through negotiation."
    3. "Reducing the acievment gap continues to be the biggest challenge for all teachers and schools."

    1. In the teacher and testing evaluation section it talks about how the Praxis 1 is designed at the 8th grade level. Why so low of a level??
    2. A child cannot be taught by anyone who despises him, and a child cannot afford to be fooled.

    1.A recently established requirement is that teacher education candidates be fingerprinted one or more times during the completion of their teacher preparation progress.
    2.The teacher signing bonus program established by the Nevada legislature in 2001 pays a $2,000 bonus to newly hired teachers.
    3.Do you believe that small classroom sizes and larger classroom sizes under the same conditions have an equal opportunity in fully educating their students?
