Take Action: Connecticut
Connecticut has the largest achievement gap in the nation. While some kids are getting a good education, Connecticut schools aren’t working for every child and as a result the whole state suffers in social and economic costs.
StudentsFirst members are fighting for change to ensure EVERY child receives a great education. We will do this by elevating the teaching profession and empowering parents with good information and quality school options. Please get involved!

Meaningful Evaluations
We must evaluate teachers and principals in a fair and meaningful way so we can reward effective teachers and support those that need improvement.
Tenure Reform
Teacher tenure should be used to reward excellent teachers, not to protect ineffective ones.
Empower Parents
Parent involvement is critical to student success. We must empower parents with quality information and with alternatives when their child is not getting the education they deserve. |

Save Great Teachers
When teacher layoffs are necessary, the best teachers should remain in the classroom. Layoffs should be based on performance, not on seniority.
Quality Public School Options
Every student deserves to attend a great school regardless of their zip code. We must expand the number of quality school options so that every child can attend a great school. |
