  • Every teacher can be an expert when provided collaborative and sustained professional development focused on improving instruction.
  • Content should be aligned to standards, be challenging, and be relevant.
  • Key indicators of success are achievement/proficiency scores, graduation rates, dropout rates, percent of highly qualified teachers, and adequacy and equity of funding for all public schools.
  • Improvement must be continuous.
  • Parental support and involvement are critical to improved student performance.
