Bank (2007) explained that, “in another 2005 survey, nine out of 10 principals told researchers at Old Dominion University in Virginia that they considered former service members more effective in classroom instruction and management than teachers with similar years of teaching experience. Nearly as many said Troops teachers boosted student achievement more than traditionally trained teachers” (p. 68). The life experience that veterans have is sure to benefit young people in Arizona. In addition, it gives veterans an opportunity to serve in another capacity.
