SEATTLE (AP) — A Seattle elementary school teacher at a University of Washington researcher testified before Congress Tuesday on the federal education law known as No Child Left Behind.

Rachelle Moore, a first grade teacher at Madrona K-8 School, told the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee that mentoring teachers at the beginning of their careers will strengthen the nation’s public schools.

Dan Goldhaber, director of the Center for Education Data and Research at the University of Washington, told the committee that not all parts of the federal education law need fixing. He says student testing has helped show not all students are getting equal access to the best teachers.

Moore and Goldhaber were invited to testify by Sen. Patty Murray, the ranking Democrat on the Senate committee.
