See there 2009 Mission Statement:<br /><br />http://www.broadfoundation.org/asset/101-2009.10%20annual%20report.pdf<br /><br />Page 11<br />"Teacher unions have always been a formidable voice in public<br />education. We decided at the onset of our work to invest in<br />smart, progressive labor leaders like Randi Weingarten, head of<br />the United Federation of Teachers in New York City for more<br />than a decade and now president of the American Federation<br />of Teachers (AFT). We partnered with Weingarten to fund two<br />union-run charter schools in Brooklyn and to fund New York<br />City’s first incentive-based compensation program for schools,<br />as well as the AFT’s Innovation Fund. We had previously<br />helped advance pay for performance programs in Denver and<br />Houston, but we were particularly encouraged to see New York<br />City embrace the plan."<br /><br />Page 16<br />"The Broad Foundation invests $2 million in the Teachers Union Reform Network (TURN), a network of National Education Association and American Federation of Teachers locals."phila.kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16583950792868787397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14707730.post-90654702830717437262012-07-09T02:09:10.702-04:002012-07-09T02:09:10.702-04:00oh - and the refusal of teachers to hold their uni...oh - and the refusal of teachers to hold their union leadership's feet to the fire... sorry people - I cant/wont help you fight for your profession, your jobs, if you wont fight for them yourselves...Sahilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610179287237833742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14707730.post-4329680111354777802012-07-09T02:07:59.900-04:002012-07-09T02:07:59.900-04:00sell outs....
