  1-12  her; and 
 
  1-13  WHEREAS, she believes that she can make a difference in the 
  1-14  lives of children by showing that questioning is a strength

  1-19  according to those beliefs; and

  1-24  that the efforts of individual classroom teachers are making 
  1-25  on the quality of education received by the children of this
