AAE President Gary Beckner Sounds Off on Teacher Choice During National School Choice Week
"Research shows us that students learn best when taught by an excellent teacher. Nationwide statistics show a positive correlation between school choice and graduation rates. We shouldn't discourage talented professionals from leaving the classroom because they can't conform to the constricts of a traditional classroom setting. Online options, blended learning, and nontraditional charter schools can offer flexibility for some of our best educators and help attract new innovators to the profession. Our focus should be on matching talented professionals with positions that best use their talents and recognizing educators for their contributions to education reform. This week is National School Choice Week and as a truly professional educators' organization, the Association of American Educators is celebrating teachers in all academic settings and promoting professional choices."
