Education Shift

The political divisions in education continue to erode in this new era. With Race to the Top forcing more states to adopt progressive education reform initiatives, party lines are getting blurry.

ABCTE was once known as an education reform pushed by the right and opposed by the left. No more. In the past year we have had Democratic legislators introduce bills on behalf of ABCTE and now two different Democratic Governors have issued proclamations supporting ABCTE’s efforts at teacher recruitment.

The first was Pennsylvania Governor Rendell and now Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry.

This is a new era in education where it is less about politics and more about the students which is such a welcome change to all of us here at ABCTE.
