Teachers and Education Reform

Teachers in southern Nevada and across the country are feeling greater pressures from lawmakers and parents, less job security in light of tougher evaluation systems and stresses in the classroom from bigger classes and tougher students.  What are teachers feeling about the way their field is changing?  What do Clark County teachers feel about the new rules that change the way they will be evaluated and promoted (or fired)?  And, what do educators in southern Nevada think of their new superintendent?  Start the conversation before the show.
