Had to share this very positive move to elevate the voices of teachers by Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell -- who has proposed the the formation of a Virginia Teacher Cabinet as reported by Mike Humphreys, a U.S. Department of Education Teaching Ambassador Fellow 2012-2013 who teaches physical education in Arlington, Va. Mike is part of the The RESPECT PROJECT where he, and several other teachers, get to learn how things are going in classrooms, schools, and districts all across the country by sitting down and talking with teachers. Then they repoert out to leaders at the Dept. of ED, giving them critical information to process and, in many cases, act upon.
