Save Great Teachers Partners
Like StudentsFirst, these organizations want to Save Great Teachers.
This year, due to budget cuts, 160,000 teachers face layoffs. Even worse, because layoff decisions in most states are based on seniority instead of effectiveness, this year we could lose our best teachers. Through their own work, and in collaboration with StudentsFirst, organizations committed to a great education for all students are standing together to keep effective teachers in the classroom.

Students for Education Reform supports the Save Great Teachers campaign because as students, we know the importance of high-quality teachers. Laying off our best teachers hurts students and contributes to the devastating educational inequity in this country. It is imperative that states end seniority-based firing practices in order to ensure that all students have access to great teachers. |
