The quality of our students is very much a function of and is linked to the quality of their teachers. Providing alternatives for teacher education; creating new avenues for communication among teachers; and motivating them to think and work innovatively, and with new technologies, should be critical values. Teachers Network is at the fulcrum of pursuing the most effective methods of teacher development and, therefore, the development of our children and our future.
