My time at the Denver Public Schools taught me there is no harder, or more important, job than being a teacher.
Very very difficult for the board. We've got to do something about our failing schools in this district.
I've focused on making sure we have talented teachers and principals in our schools through proposals like the GREAT Teachers and Principals Act and the Presidential Teachers Corps.
I am most interested in the outcomes at schools and school districts and ensuring that all kids are prepared for college and a career in the 21st-century job market.
