The North Carolina Association of Educators (NCAE) has taken a stand against HB 706, a bill that supplies reciprocity in licensing for any out-of-state teacher who is deemed “highly qualified” under NCLB. They reason that North Carolina’s teaching standards are higher than NCLB, and adopting NCLB standards for out-of-state teachers would lower the quality of education in NC. That could be true, I don’t know.
But, last year when the NCAE was lobbying against NCLB teaching standards, they said they were far too high, and would make the teaching shortage in the state even worse.
Do you think NCAE wants education to improve in NC, or do you think they want to have it their way, no matter what the issue is?
