  23. Set high goals and help us achieve them • Challenge us to show you care • Focus on college going habits, skills and attitudes • Expand our horizons by teaching us about more than what is happening in our community but what is happening in the world • Develop a relationship with our family members Educators:

  24. We want expertsand not just qualified teachers • We want recognition for teachers who excel • We want changes to seniority policies • We want to evaluate teachers based on student improvement and our opinion not just standardized testing Policy Makers
