More From Margaret Spellings
- "We want to obviously foster a relationship that we’re a partner with states; that we all share the same goals of closing the achievement gap, just as the Congress does; and that we’re practical and sophisticated enough to understand what they’re talking about."
- "I do think we know that a teacher who knows what he or she is doing, knows their subject matter, and knows how to impart knowledge to kids is a critical piece of closing the achievement gap."
- "And I think that we in America need to understand that many schools need improvement, and particularly with respect to how they’re serving minority children."
