Open Letter to Next President

By Barbara Bray January 26, 2008 -- 08:43 AM

James Comer wrote this Open Letter to the Next President in this week�s edition of Education Week:

There is abundant direct and indirect evidence that students from all backgrounds can thrive in environments designed to promote their development. Given the compelling case for the developmental impact of constructive interactions between young people and the adults around them, and the fact that many school people are not adequately prepared to provide these interactions, the obvious place to begin a program aimed at effecting school improvement is in the preparation and support of future and practicing educators.

I�m curious what you think of this article. What would you say to the next president?
