Issue Position

"We owe it to our children to be better. Delaware lost its strategic vision on how to best educate our youth. Teachers must be more empowered. They need to have the freedom and resources to teach for genuine learning instead of seeking high scores on standardized tests. Test scores do not always show what learning has actually been accomplished. Education needs to be differentiated. We must bring experiential opportunities into the classroom and work with our partners in higher education to tie what students learn in high school to the College experience as well as training them to be effective in any work environment. That's what I do through a dual-credit class I teach at Newark High School."
