Alliance for Excellent Education

Alliance for Excellent Education favors Common Core State Standards, digital learning, and NCLB (ESEA) waivers. President Bob Wise, former governor of West Virginia, heads a board of highly paid executives, “Waivers offer states a tremendous opportunity; rather than being constrained by the decade-old No Child Left Behind Act, states can design and implement innovative reforms that improve their education systems and more effectively prepare their students for college and a career,” he said, even though the A4EE has produced research showing that such waivers push kids out of high school and that leads to lower graduation rates. ... more

Teach for America

Teach for America is an elitist organization that recruits non-teachers to educate America's most vulnerable students at a premium price. Research shows that the program does harm to children, does not close the achievement gap as claimed, and costs taxpayers millions. Founder Wendy Kopp has no education training or expertise, but she is extremely effective at asking very rich people, corporations, and the federal government for millions of dollars and getting it. Teach for America perpetuates the myth that anyone with a college degree is a teacher. It is a recruiting and placement service. Until 2011, eligibility requirements stipulated that education majors and licensed teachers were prohibited from joining. TFA has gone to great expense to market the company as the “peace corps” of teaching. It is not. Its placements are not teachers and not volunteers. Recruits agree to teach for two years and then move on to a real career. In addition to a regular teacher's salary, TFA placements are given two $5,000 awards to pay for college expenses. The awards are provided by the federal government through Americorps, whose funding is appropriated to aid volunteer organizations in America's poorest communities. An exception has be made for TFA. TFA “teachers” are given preferable access to teaching jobs over regular teachers especially in public charter schools funded by Gates and Broad. TFA hires highly paid administrators, who also are not educators, to “coach” and assist its placements. ... more

The New Teacher Center

Founded in 1998 by teacher, the program has morphed into something new. Slick, canned, generic, pricey programs with no mention of the "experts" who developed the program. Online mentors are provided for new teachers. Promotes reform policies favored by the Billionaire Boys Club. ... more
