emergency session for RTTT

The governor has called an emergency session and vowed to rush through California's application for Race to the Top funds by December 2. The first round of funding is in January. The teacher's union has worked hard to get the language changed, but it is still a sad day for education. I feel defeated and disappointed in our president and his choice for secretary of education. I will have to find something else to be thankful for tomorrow.

Crucial Turning Point - A Call to Action

Word on the street is that there is a buzz around the state capital and our legislators are BEGINNING to hear that the Race to the Top may not be a good thing. Now is the time to let our voices be heard, while they are listening. CTA has a link on their website or you can contact your representative yourself and let them know that lots of us in education DO NOT WANT California to enter the Race to the Top. Let our voices be heard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
