advocacy group, and conducted by Anzalone Liszt Research.
What's surprising in a new survey published today by 50CAN, a reform - oriented
advocacy group that supports more rigorous
teacher evaluations and early education, is the relatively lukewarm response to some of the most favored ideas for improving the school system
among education advocates and many elected officials.
The NCTQ, a non-partisan
advocacy group that receives support from the Gates Foundation
among others, gave California an overall grade of D - plus in its seventh annual survey of policies that affect
teacher preparation, evaluation and compensation.
Among the «
teacher advocacy group's» major funders is Education Reform Now, another corporate funded
advocacy group that spends its money promoting charter schools and an end to tenure and «seniority - based layoff.»
