As a dues-paying (by choice) member of NEA and a member of CTQ’s Teacher Leader Network, I am thrilled to see my dues money at work helping to bring the voices and work of real, proven successful teachers into education policy issues. Personally, I’d like to see NEA spend less money on some other things and more on projects like the statewide summits of National Board Certified Teachers or the educator working conditions surveys.

It’s amazing what a bunch of teachers can do when given the opportunity to lead in education. CTQ is great and I’m glad to see one of the “big dogs” supporting excellence.

If that’s so, it’s pretty interesting that it includes a $200,000 grant listed as “public relations costs.”

The money from NEA to CTQ was for working conditions studies in 4 states. The NEA is investing in 8 more states this year.
