Today...Arne Duncan, Newt Gingrich and Rev. Al Sharpton shared the stage on Meet the Press. The title of the segment was, “Americas Failing Public Schools.”
Sec. Arne Duncan stated, “ We want to reward those states, those districts, those non-profits that are willing to challenge the status quo and get dramatically better, close the achievement gap and raise the bar for everybody….” He goes on to say that, “Teacher evaluation in this country is basically broken. Great teachers don’t get recognized…” The discussion included Race to the Top, Unions, Testing, etc.
As I was watching/listening, an interesting subject was raised: National Teachers Academy. How many of you have heard of this concept?
