20th Century Technology to 21st century highspeed Broadband Technology. Its a reallocation of resourcef resources are never easy and never pleasant but they are essential if we are to keep pushing forward. We are moving to broadband to the person at the library.

Excited about learning and set you on a path for an extraordinary career. Unfortunately, there are a lot of kids around the country who are not getting the kind of teaching that they need not because there arent a whole lot of Great Potential teachers out there, but because were not doing enough to put a lot of our teachers in a position to succeed. They may not be getting the training they need. They may not be getting the professional development and support be that they need. Support that they need in the classroom. And part of our goal since we came into office, is how do we continually improve how teachers can get better each and every year . Of particular concern is the fact that typically the least experienced teachers, the ones with the least support, often end up in the poorest schools. So we have a problem in which the kids who need the most skilled teachers are the least likely to get them. And the most talented and skilled teachers often times are teaching the kids who are
