Connecticut teachers' union ready to release education reform plan

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) ? Connecticut?s largest teachers? union is releasing a plan for education reforms that it says will help boost student achievement.

The Connecticut Education Association is scheduled to unveil the plan Tuesday.

It comes about a month before the General Assembly returns to Hartford for a legislative session that?s expected to deal with education reform initiatives.

In a letter to state lawmakers this month, Gov. Dannel Malloy said his priorities include allowing more state intervention in troubled school districts, more autonomy for high-achieving schools and changes in teacher evaluation methods to reward skills rather than seniority.

Malloy said he also wants more early childhood education services.

The Connecticut Education Association said its? proposal will address a long list of issues, ranging from teacher tenure and evaluation to class size and parental involvement.
