2.4: Objective 2.4
Improve teacher and principal quality Other Information:
The president has called for a quality teacher in every classroom. He has said, “Education reform is empty if it does not
take account of the needs of educators. Teachers are not the objects of education reform. They are the engines of education
reform. They have a high calling, and we must respect it.” We will work to ensure that all of our nation’s schools have the
high-quality teachers they need to boost student achievement, both by recruiting new, highly qualified teachers and by providing
current teachers access to rigorous professional development. This is especially critical in schools where many children have
been left behind. In addition, we will work to strengthen the leadership corps, as we know from research and experience that
strong principals are essential for the improvement of student achievement.
