 Appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe show, AFT president Randi Weingarten talks about the tools teachers need to help all children succeed. Those tools include a rich curriculum, time to work together with their colleagues, support to build their professional capacity, a collaborative environment—and more resources, especially to help give lower-income students what they need to overcome poverty. The show was filmed at Fort Lee High School in New Jersey, a public school working hard to improve student achievement. |
