Claiborne Pell said "I do concur with my colleague from Vermont that school based personnel such as psychologists, and school social workers are essential to providing comprehensive services in support of classroom teachers. Student learning is a complex process. Classroom teachers often need the support of an interdisciplinary team of skilled school personnel to help students succeed academically. Allowing States to include professional staff in professional development where it will actually support teachers and their work is certainly an intent of this legislation, and will bring achievement of goal No. 4 much closer to reality." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
