From the submitted article: "The NEA and its supporters will eventually lose this fight, says Kate Walsh, the president of the National Council on Teacher Quality, a think-tank that unions love to hate.

is an interesting organization, with helpful publications on how to help learners learn more by helping teachers teach better. I especially like the council's publications on mathematics teaching,
