| Secretary Arne Duncan Visits Schools in Denver (April 7, 2009) |
 |
| Secretary Arne Duncan speaks at Bruce Randolph School in Denver, Colo., where he appeared with Sen. Michael Bennet (also former Denver Public Schools superintendent) to explain how the state could be a contender for federal stimulus money from a program called "Race to the Top." He said that Colorado's proposal should outline the state's innovative ideas in four areas: data systems, teacher quality, internationally benchmarked student standards and turning around low-performing schools. "The business we should be in is scaling up what works as quickly as possible," Duncan said. "Let's take those lessons, let's replicate them and move on...with a sense of urgency. We have to get dramatically better as a country, and we need to do it as fast as we can." |
