Created to advance the educational system across the country, the United States Department of Education sponsors numerous workshops and programs to help educators stay current on educational initiatives and teaching formats. One such workshop is the Teacher-to-Teacher Initiative.
Designed as a roundtable format, the Teacher-to-Teacher Initiative brings educators from around the country together to discuss the No Child Left Behind legislation and how teachers can obtain better. Originally enacted by President George W. Bush in 2002, No Child Left Behind requires that students in third through eighth grade be tested to meet national standards in math and reading. The Teacher-to-Teacher Initiative allows educators to discuss methods pertaining to the program, including professional development and effective teaching techniques that will help increase student success.
