Education Secretary Arne Duncan at the Brookings Institute on C-Span Video. See Dr. Jerome Dancis' question to him on middle school math instruction at minute 19 to 22 on the video.

  1. Dr. Dancis,
    two excellent questions posed well and answered directly by Secretary Duncan. They target a fine use of the $40+ billion of education stimulus money that runs out in 2 years - re-allocate some professional development dollars to teaching content to teachers who need it.

    The whole video s fascinating. $40+ billion flows to the local school systems which can be used to "pick up pink slips". that's good. but even more interesting is the $5 billion that will be awarded competitively and directed to "race to the top" system reform. hmmmm.
