Obama, Education, and how it affects Speech Therapy
December 7, 2009
New house, new party, new puppy, new educational policy? The new White House came to power with an impressive educational agenda. President Obama’s stated objectives include:
1. Reform NCLB Obama and Biden believe teachers should not be forced to spend the academic year preparing students to fill in bubbles on standardized tests. Obama vows to improve the assessments used to track student progress to measure readiness for college.
2. Invest in Early Childhood Ed. The Obama-Biden comprehensive “Zero to Five” plan will provide critical support to young children and their parents. They also will help states move toward voluntary, universal pre-school.
3. Make College Affordable Obama and Biden will create a new American Opportunity Tax Credit worth $4,000 in exchange for community service. It will cover two-thirds the cost of tuition at the average public college or university and make community college tuition completely free for most students.
