    All present except Assemblymen Beers and Ohrenschall, who were excused.

    Prayer by the Chaplain, Reverend Albert Tilstra.

    With all the resources of an infinite God available to us, we ask forgiveness for our lack of faith that begs for pennies when we could write checks for millions, that strikes a match when we could have the sun. Give to us the faith to believe that there is no problem before us that Your wisdom cannot solve. As You have guided men in the past, so guide these members of this Assembly today. At every desk may there be a whisper of Your counsel. Help our leaders to weigh their words, that their words may carry weight and, what is more, the echo of Your will. We ask these favors in Your Almighty Name.

Amen.

    Pledge of allegiance to the Flag.

REMARKS FROM THE FLOOR

    Assemblywoman Buckley requested that the following remarks be entered in the Journal.

    Assemblyman Anderson:

    Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Several years ago I served on a national education board. During that time, a report dealing with a nation at risk first came out. It took public education to task for not meeting the needs of our society.

    In 1986, the Carnegie Task Force on Teaching as a Profession asserted that world-class schools required a world-class teaching force and the assurance of a quality teacher in every classroom. It noted that while many excellent teachers were working in schools, their efforts often went unrecognized and unrewarded, and even worse; their knowledge and skills were underutilized.

    The following year a National Board for Professional Teaching Standards was created to meet the task of defining outstanding teaching. Its founding chair was North Carolina Governor, James B. Hunt. He asserted that the mission of this board would be:

To establish high and rigorous standards for what accomplished teachers should know and be able to do, to develop and operate a national voluntary system to assess and certify teachers who meet those standards, and to advance related educational reforms for the purpose of improving student learning in American Schools.

    Those standards have been adopted in wide areas over the years. This year 4,494 teachers earned this recognition. Seated here today are 24 of my colleagues from the State of Nevada who meet this requirement. I find it emotional because my profession has been under attack for a long time. These teachers, these 24—two of which are from the math department in my own school—are the best. The year of hard work these teachers have put in, the testing they’ve undergone, holds a beacon up to those in my profession, one for others to follow. They signify and capture the best practices and indicators of accomplished teaching—other teachers benefit from their experience, as well as our students, who benefit the most of all.

    I would like to recognize the 24 teachers that are here today and have their names entered in the record as guests. They are seated here among us today, if you will welcome them. They are representative of the 24 National Standard Board certified teachers in the State of Nevada, the first ever in our state.  Their accomplishments, as I said previously, hold a beacon for others      to follow and capture the best practice and indications of accomplished teaching. While these teachers benefited from their experience, it is our students who benefit the most.
