State teachers union lays out plan to improve education

State teachers union lays out plan to improve education:

"The Pennsylvania State Education Association wants to be leading the conversation about improving education, not reacting.

So it has pulled together what it considers the best proven ways to enhance education in a 169-page report intended to reach political candidates and the general public.

The report, released yesterday, is titled 'The Power of a Great Education: PSEA's 20/20 Vision for the Future -- Strong Schools, Successful Children, Vibrant Communities.' It can be found at www.psea.org/vision.

'The primary purpose is we want to get out there as we're entering the 2010 election cycle and engage politicians and policymakers,' said PSEA President James Testerman."
