Achieving this standard will mean a young person will be able to compose a coherent email to a friend as well as write an effective letter applying for a job. Achieving this standard will help them understand how an airplane flies or how an air conditioner cools a room. Throughout our state, public school students are striving to achieve these standards. To assist their teachers in helping them achieve, we have created new resources such as educational technology centers and a virtual academy. What's more, we have required 100 hours of professional development every five years for every teacher so they can continue to strengthen their teaching.
Education is a key that unlocks many doors.
The door to employment and to enlightenment. The door to full participation in democracy.
