Read What Educators Believe
"My class is excited to come to the classroom each day."
Betty
Teacher, Milwaukee
"I am doing something meaningful to enhance the lives of students and promote a productive and successful future."
Victoria
Social studies teacher, Franklin
"Great schools benefit Wisconsin because children are our future. Schools play a vital role in teaching children about academics and life skills. Partnerships with parents give a strong message to kids that everyone is working to benefit them. Knowing they have people/individuals who believe in them can make a huge difference in how far they will go and the dreams/goals they will achieve."
Renae
Speech/hearing therapist, Fond du Lac
"All children can learn when supported by school staff, families, and a community committed to funding for children who are our personal, school and community futures!"
Helen
Teacher of children with cognitive disabilities, Greenfield
"That education is the gateway into the world in which we live and the unknown world in which we explore."
Evans
Substitute teacher, Milwaukee
"I teach at Washington Middle School in Green Bay. This is a great school because it celebrates diversity, has a like-minded faculty that support each other and our students in family-style communities, and we believe that we can give our students hope and vision."
Steven
Teacher of students with learning disabilities, Green Bay
"A great school is somewhere that everyone who walks through the doors (staff and students alike) knows that they are both welcomed and wanted there. They feel safe and appreciated and are respected for their individuality and creativity. And no one is ever defined by a bubble test."
Shelly
English/language arts teacher, Ellsworth
"I believe each child can learn, with the help of the people involved in the child's life."
Ron
5th and 6th grade teacher, Kansasville
"Kids, involved parents, competent colleagues and good administrators make a great school."
Ila
Retired teacher, Hammond
"I believe that every child, regardless of where they live, deserves a quality education. In spite of dwindling resources, I believe parents, educators, community members, businesses, school district officials, and state representatives know and understand the importance of a quality school system. Given this, I know these groups can work together to come up with innovative ways to find resources to fund quality schools that will keep Wisconsinís educational system the best in the nation."
Cindy
English teacher, Eau Claire
"I believe that because of great Wisconsin schools, our children are better prepared to succeed in a changing world. I believe character education that involves the entire learning community is an integral part of curriculum."
Lynn
Art teacher, Green Bay
