Bush At the heart of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 is a promise to raise standards for all children and to help all children meet those standards. In support of this goal, President George W. Bush is committed to promoting the very best teaching methods. Well-trained teachers and instruction that is based on research can bring the best teaching approaches to all children and help to ensure that no child is left behind. The law recognizes that parents are their children's first and most important teachers, and, for children to be successful in school, parents and families need to be actively involved in their children's learning. They need to become involved early and stay involved throughout the school year.

In DOL Printer-friendly version ( HTML PDF Nature of the Work Working Conditions ... Sources of Additional Information Significant Points Public school teachers must have at least a bachelor’s degree, complete an approved teacher education program, and be licensed. Many States offer alternative licensing programs to attract people into teaching, especially for hard-to-fill positions. Excellent job opportunities are expected as a large number of teachers retire over the next 10 years, particularly at the secondary school level; opportunities will vary somewhat by geographic area and subject taught. Nature of the Work About this section Back to Top Teachers act as facilitators or coaches, using interactive discussions and “hands-on” approaches to help students learn and apply concepts in subjects such as science, mathematics, or English. They utilize “props” or “manipulatives” to help children understand abstract concepts, solve problems, and develop critical thought processes. For example, they teach the concepts of numbers or of addition and subtraction by playing board games. As the children get older, the teachers use more sophisticated materials, such as science apparatus, cameras, or computers. To encourage collaboration in solving problems, students are increasingly working in groups to discuss and solve problems together. Preparing students for the future workforce is the major stimulus generating the changes in education. To be prepared, students must be able to interact with others, adapt to new technology, and think through problems logically. Teachers provide the tools and the environment for their students to develop these skills.

Making Middle Grades Work Mission The mission of the middle school is to make sure that all students leave eighth grade with the knowledge and skills to be successful without remediation in a college-preparatory curriculum and with plans for what to study to complete high school and prepare for future education and careers. Essential Conditions Commitment – State partners, the local school board, district leaders and the community must commit to implementing the comprehensive improvement framework fully. Planning for continuous improvement – District and school leaders must create an organizational structure and a process that provide teachers and administrators with the time and means to discuss and plan strategies to raise student achievement.  Leaders and teachers decide what to teach, how to teach, what to expect students to learn and how to evaluate student learning. Curriculum – District leaders must encourage a review to assess the curriculum’s alignment with state, national and international standards.  Content and performance standards will define the quantity and quality of work expected at each grade level. Support for professional development – District and school leaders must provide leadership and financial support for professional development that is connected directly to academic standards and gaps in student achievement.  Professional development includes support for teachers as they implement teaching practices that have proven records of effectiveness.
