Educators

Educators from across the country, all of whom work day in and day out to prepare our students to be competitive in an increasingly global market, are honored as Champions of Change and participate in a discussion about ensuring every child receives a first-rate education. August 31, 2012.

Four years ago Barack Obama promised to stand with teachers.

President Obama: "I won't just talk about how great teachers are I will reward them for their greatness. We're going to pay our teachers more money. We're going to give them more support."

President Obama ended his two-day tour of Ohio and Nevada with a grassroots event in Las Vegas. President Obama discussed the choice in this election between two fundamentally different visions of how to grow the economy, create middle-class jobs, pay down the debt and invest in quality, affordable education.

Voiceover: "Mitt Romney on how to pay for college and start a business..."

Mitt Romney: "Take a risk, get the education, borrow money if you have to from your parents'"

Voiceover: "Hope they can afford it."

"Romney's plans could cut college aid for nearly ten million students and eliminate the tax deduction for college tuition."

Teachers and educational professionals from across the country are coming together to support the President. In this video, educators share why education is important and why they stand with President Obama.
