Description: On October’s special edition of Education News Parents Can Use, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan will engage teachers across the country in a town hall forum about what’s working and what’s not working in our nation’s schools. Live from PBS television station WETA, the Secretary will take comments and questions from teachers in the studio audience and via telephone and email. The conversation will cover ways to improve the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, now called No Child Left Behind; better methods for recruiting, preparing, and rewarding teachers; ideas for elevating the teaching profession; and much more. |
