This is Why We Are
NEA President Reg Weaver recalls the passion for teaching he’s felt over a 30-year career: “There’s no feeling like seeing children’s eyes brighten up as they discover a world of opportunity.” He reminds listeners in his May radio spot that we're a team fighting for great public schools -- including smaller class sizes, adequate funding, and access to a rigorous curriculum -- for every child.

Books Open a Brighter Future

"The first time a parent, grandparent or sibling picks up a book and opens it with a child, the future burns brighter." In his March radio message timed to coincide with NEA's Read Across America, Reg Weaver says the 11-year history of the event fits well into the century-and-a-half mission of the 3.2-million member association: "The pictures and sounds of reading build a foundation of achievement in both school and life."

We Won't Sleep on the Issues 

President Bush's final State of the Union address and the presidential primaries provide critical context to our advocacy on behalf of children and public education. NEA President Reg Weaver in his January radio message says our 3.2 million members are staying active in the fight to close the gap between political talk and action when it comes to ensuring a great public school for every child. NEA, says Weaver, is seizing every opportunity to push for smaller class sizes, competitive educator salaries, and higher academic standards. Listen now and get active.

"Hold Congress Accountable"

NEA President Reg Weaver doesn't need convincing. But others, including many elected officials, need to be convinced of the importance of class size, teacher quality and multiple measures when it comes to student success. In his November radio message, Reg urges listeners to the ABC Radio Network in both English and Spanish to hold members of Congress accountable for what they say and do regarding public education.
