I believe a year with an ineffective teacher is not a luxury our students in high need districts can afford. We need to ensure that the licensure requirements and the evaluation system are recruiting and retaining only the most qualified teachers. In my own classroom, I believe in meeting students where they at developmentally, but also pushing them forward with the supports they need. Colleen is a K0/K1 inclusion teacher at the Lee Academy Pilot School in Dorchester, MA. Colleen is currently serving as the K0/K1 team leader, the secretary of the Lee Academy Governing Board and is the Boston Teachers Union representative for her school. This year I will also be working with Teach+, an organization that looks to ensure that education policy is ensuring that children have a well prepared, high quality teacher in their classroom!
