RATIONALE
 
The good health of our nation's schools depends on bringing into the classrooms as new teachers the brightest and best among today's students. Teaching needs to be viewed as a promising career option. Particularly needed in the future will be teachers from diverse backgrounds to match and be sensitive to the increasing diversity in our classrooms.
