As part of Teacher Appreciation Week, US Department of
Education (ED) officials will shadow teachers all across the country.
According
to www.ed.gov over 65 officials will take part in the
second annual event designed to give Department officials an opportunity to
witness the day in the life of a teacher and hear directly about ways the
Department can greater support their work and better understand the demands
placed upon teachers.
These officials
were assigned in different grades and areas of the country and will meet up
afterwards with Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to discuss their experience
and share what they learned.
"It is our
collective responsibility to make sure that the millions of teachers in
America's classrooms have the tools, time and professional development to be
the very best they can be,” said Duncan. “The quality of our education system
can only be as good as the quality of the teaching happening in classrooms and
every member of society has a part to play in supporting our teachers and
students.”
Events like this
should help teachers and the US Department of Education to gain a mutual
respect for one another and in turn impact the work of teachers positively.
