Every child deserves a great teacher. In other industries, the best employees are acknowledged for their exceptional contributions. A career in teaching should be no different. Our society needs to celebrate educators and the work that they do. We must reward the teachers who stand out, who inspire our students and who ultimately change lives. We can't produce world-class students if we don't train and support world-class teachers. To ensure that we have the best possible teacher in every single classroom, we need to recruit the best and the brightest. We have to provide teachers with proven tools, training, and coaching. Teachers should be fairly evaluated using a variety of measures -- including student achievement -- so that outstanding teachers are justly rewarded.
