As I discussed today in my column at The American Spectator, one of the biggest challenges facing the National Education Association is the consensus that it helps perpetuate a culture of low quality academic instruction. But it isn’t just the NEA taking the hit. As Layla Avila of The New Teacher Project explains in this 2009 testimony before the House Education and Labor Committee, school districts are also doing little to address teacher quality.

As you will see in this video, improving teacher quality isn’t just a business for Avila. It isn’t for me either. And it definitely shouldn’t be for you.
