American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten

NSO

American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten is visiting schools in Detroit that are preparing students with evidence-based, innovative programs in a back-to-school tour.

“We’ve just witnessed one of the most contentious, tumultuous years in education funding and policy. Notwithstanding devastating cuts to education and policies that demean and silence teachers, educators have been doing what they do best—helping to develop programs that strengthen teaching and learning,” Weingarten said. “Times might be tough, but teachers will not let kids down.”

The 2011 “Making a Difference Every Day” back-to-school tour includes pre-K to higher education stops from coast to coast, highlighting approaches that are sustainable, scalable and will help all kids succeed.

Detroit is one of several stops on our “Making a Difference Every Day” back-to-school tour, visiting schools that are preparing students with evidence-based, innovative programs. Detroit is an important place to be, because the future of the city is so closely tied to our ability to turn around this public school system as a community.
