If You Ever Go to North Dakota, Kamras, Bring a Box Lunch
Flypaper has details of a speech delivered at the Education Trust national conference by 2005 National Teacher of the Year Jason Kamras. It was always obvious that this Teach for America alumnus was a maverick. (Is that word still allowed?) His remarks to the 2005 NEA Representative Assembly (see item #5 here) had more than a few uncomfortable silences.
His speech today contained some views on the teacher salary schedule that will ensure – should the occasion arise – he will never be fed by the North Dakota Education Association. I’m sure Education Trust gave him pancakes. If not, Kati Haycock and Amy Wilkins will hear from me!
