Campaign themes
2014
Cranor's campaign website lists her themes for the 2014 campaign:
| “ |
Erin Cranor's plan can be summed up in three words: Teachers. Transparency. Today. Teachers Parents know that a child's experience in school depends on the teachers. Our students need teachers who are allowed to teach. In other words, our schools should be filled with teachers who enjoy professional status, who are free to meet the dynamic needs of their students, and whose work as educators takes place in a professional environment of respect and ability. The classroom tools and ongoing training opportunities that equip teachers to continuously improve their art and practice are worthy investments. With your vote, Erin will continue to work hard and collaborate to help make Clark County, Nevada a great place to be a great teacher. Transparency In the business world, in the not-for-profit sector, and in parent volunteer organizations, once things are made transparent, things often fall into place. Anything that has no rightful place falls out of the picture. Even better, clarity can shed light on low-impact investments that can be ended, to make way for smarter, targeted investments in high-leverage opportunities for student success. Our schools are getting better transparency from the school board, and it needs to continue to improve. Erin will continue to ask the questions, do the homework, and complete the follow-up that results in transparency in this school district, so that the talent, the decision-making, and the resources are invested in greatest impact for student success. With your vote, Erin will help ensure precise investment in what works for student success. Today If we believe children are the future, what are we doing for students who are in our schools today? Today's students need safe, first-class schools. They need our community to be a great place to grow up - a great place today, not a decade or two down the road. People who daily look today's students in the eye have Erin's ear and Erin's support: today's parents, today's teachers, the people who work one-on-one with our students today. With your vote, Erin will continue to be inside our schools to listen and learn about what is happening, so we can make the changes our students need now. In addition to the three T's that keep her day-to-day service centered for student success, Erin Cranor relies upon three C's for smart decision making and strategic leadership: Children, Clarity, and Collaboration. Children are what this work is all about. Clarity is a must for transformation. Collaboration is what successful communities do for their children.[6] |
