- Summary:
-
This report sets forth the position of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) on reform measures in the public schools. The first section deals with securing and retaining an adequate number of talented teachers through the professionalization of teaching. Recommendations are made on professional salaries; teacher shortage areas and the shortage of minority teachers; teacher education, testing, certification, and induction; professional advancement and teacher mobility. The second section is devoted to considerations of school structure and governance. In the third section, the question is raised of choices within the public schools--magnet schools, alternative schools, schools within a school, open enrollment, and elective courses. The position of the AFT is one of remaining open to the discussion of choice options if such options fulfill the educational conditions, goals, and outcomes established by states and local communities. In the final section, the role of the AFT in the improvement of education is discussed, and considerations are offered for the guidance of state and local federations engaged in the development of education reform proposals.
