Of all the concerns U.S. assistant education secretary Ray Simon has heard
about the No Child Left Behind federal education law, one particularly strikes
him as he talks with educators around the country.

Fear.
Teachers are terrified of not meeting the mandates set for them under the
federal law, he said yesterday. To ease the tension, Pittsburgh and six other
cities this summer will host teaching workshops under a new federal program
designed to help teachers keep their schools off the poor-performing list.
The workshops, part of the "Teacher to Teacher" program announced yesterday
by the U.S. Department of Education, will bring top educators to Pittsburgh to
talk with teachers about ways to improve classroom performance. Teachers from
around the country will be invited to participate in the workshops, which also
will be held in Boston; Denver; Anaheim, Calif.; Orlando, Fla.; Portland,
Ore.; and St. Louis.
