CEA shares A View from the Classroom: Proven Ideas for Student Achievement - a comprehensive education reform plan developed by teachers
at Capitol press conference.
As a member of CEA, you are part of an organization with over 40,000 members. With thousands of teacher members like you, we have clout
to promote the teaching profession, secure competitive salaries, lobby lawmakers, and build the support and respect you deserve.
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.
