Fired up

Higher education continues to amaze me. We learn about formative and summative evaluations, learner-community-assesment- and knowledge-centered learning environments, and life long learning, yet administration, and political factions for that matter, fail to invest in the main staple for learning-the TEACHER. What happens to administrators once they asume their position? Do they forget where they came from? Do they succume to the status quo? WHAT? I am fired up about the fact that only 1-3 % of budget are earmarked for professional development. Where's the incentive for learning, especialy on a teacher's salary.
