Governor’s 2010 Education Initiative moves forward

Universal access to preschool, individual learning plans for students, and recruitment and retention of quality teachers. These are some of the hot topics that came out of the 2010 Education meetings held this summer.

Recently, participants at Governor Rounds’ Teacher Leadership Conference also offered their input into the 2010 Education process. In addition to the topics of early childhood education and teacher retention, the teachers’ discussions focused heavily on parental involvement and accountability. They also talked about the realities of how budget cuts and growing class sizes affect their classrooms.

So, what’s next with the 2010 Education Initiative? All of the information gathered at the grassroots level will go to Governor Rounds and his team to assess and prioritize. Stay tuned for more!
