SUSAN DAVIS INTRODUCES TEACHER AND PRINCIPAL EVALUATION BILL

 

February 18, 2013 (Washington D.C.) –“Everyone has a teacher from their past who inspired them. Teachers play a significant role in a student’s development and as our nation’s builders, which is why it is so important to give teachers the opportunities to grow as educators,” a press release from Congresswoman Susan Davis (D-San Diego) states. However, many school districts lack a method for giving teachers and principals the developmental feedback to help them reach their ultimate professional potential. 

Davis, along with Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO) has introduced legislation that they believe will give teachers the feedback and the support they deserve.

READER’S EDITORIAL: THE LEGACY OF STEVE JOBS (1955-2011)

 

By Nikki Symington 

 
 
 
October 6, 2011 (San Diego’s East County)—Here is another inspiration and gift from Steve Jobs that bears witnessing. He was fired from the company and product he created. Who fired him? A board of directors representing investors interested only in money--not interested in creative genius or a CEO who didn’t fit their vapid images, no doubt. 
 
The good news is that in Steve Job’s case, they failed and inspiration, leadership and genius was invited back to save their pocketbooks, and enrich our lives. There is a lesson here about what is wrong with American companies and corporations.
