Teachers need support, not suspicion - Connecticut Post: "Urban city teachers like me need to be supported, encouraged and empowered. Teachers like me have no malicious intent in our career choice; we have not arrived in this city seeking high salaries, vacations or the perks of the latest technology. We are here for the students, and the vilification of teachers is sorely misguided and truly trying my patience. Faced with the prospect of co-directing the Writing Project this summer, my damaged ego questioned the validity and competency of my qualifications. I needed to remind myself of my talent and commitment, of my sincere belief that the best teaching practices won't be squelched by the narrow view that test scores reveal all about a teacher's efficacy and passion. Here's to me then, and to all the hardworking teachers I know, and to a summer of writing to learn."
