CT's Teachers of the Year Share Their Success

CEA recently interviewed a group of Teachers of the Year to get their reactions to the condition of public education. We're glad we did because the teachers' message is one of hard work and success.

Teachers Work Hard Every Day to Promote Student Success. And it Shows!

Teachers will not be satisfied until they have helped all students prepare for the demands of our ever-changing knowledge economy. The state's achievement gap looms large for all of us and - to address it - our members are working harder than ever before with fewer resources. Teachers work tirelessly, take work home with them, and pay for school supplies out of their own pockets. But they love what they do. And CEA believes educators deserve to take pride in their teaching efforts as well as the achievement of their students.

CEA's public awareness campaign celebrates teachers' efforts and significant progress in student achievement. Teachers' enthusiasm and dedication to their students never wane. They are as devoted as ever to striving to ensure that every student has the skills and competencies he/she needs to succeed.

Connecticut Teachers: Giving Their Best Every Day

Some teachers are troubled about rising class sizes. Others worry about declining resources for public schools. Still others are concerned that they're making sacrifices and improving continuously, but their efforts too often aren't recognized. These issues and more are underscored in CEA's public awareness TV campaign.
