Gov. Andrew Cuomo has made it clear that 2015 is an education year, in which he'll be tackling issues affecting the daily lives of our state's 2.5 million students. The policies he's proposing will be implemented by teachers, and so they should be made with the perspectives of teachers in mind. Our group, Educators for Excellence New York, a teacher-led nonprofit with more than 10,000 members, recently released a report, "State of the Classroom," based on feedback from educators.
