- Summary:
-
Based on the premise that the challenges of incorporating the necessarily high standards to be literate in today's world require future citizens and the educational community to reconsider the number of students assigned to teachers of English language arts, this National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) position paper outlines what students need to succeed, i.e., what all students have a right to and what kind of teachers they have a right to. The paper pinpoints relevant facts and challenges, and provides goals and strategies to reduce teacher workload and increase the quality of literacy education at all levels, advocating a 3-pronged approach: reduce the class size and workload; hire qualified professional teachers; and provide strong professional development. Separate statements are presented on class size and teacher workload for each educational level, and a 5-year plan is recommended for the secondary level. Contains a 20-item selected bibliography.
