Its true and unfortunate that often the weakest teachers are relegated to teaching the neediest students, poor minority kids in inner-city schools. For these children, teachers can be make or break. “The research shows that kids who have two, three, four strong teachers in a row will eventually excel, no matter what their background, while kids who have even two weak teachers in a row will never recover,” says Kati Haycock of the Education Trust and coauthor of the 2006 study “Teaching Inequality: How Poor and Minority Students Are Shortchanged on Teacher Quality.”

What Our Members Say…
One of the things I love the most about the Pocono Women is that it’s holistic. Yes, we are a group of professional women who benefit from networking and sharing ideas with other women business owners, but the icing on the cake is that the group is focused on the well-being of the whole person-mind, body, spirit and business! As women, we always give so much to others, and being a part of this group is a gift I give to myself.
