More than 400 Wake County
community, business and parent leaders came together
for the eighth annual Wake Education Summit, coordinated
by Wake Education Partnership and hosted by more than
40 businesses and community organizations. Focused on
the theme Journey to 2008: Successful Teachers,
Successful Students, participants at the Summit
discussed the realities of teaching in today’s
classrooms and prioritized recommendations to support
the recruitment and retention of excellent teachers
as one strategy for achieving Goal
2008.
The 2005 Summit also served as the release of a new
report from the Wake
Task Force on Teaching Excellence, a citizen-led
committee convened by Wake Education Partnership. The
report, titled “Recruit,
Retain and Respect,” includes local, state
and national research on teachers and teaching, as well
as recommendations about recruiting, retaining, supporting
and developing quality teachers for all of Wake’s
public school classrooms. |
