Secretary Duncan Outlines President Obama's Education Reform Plan

In order for state's to receive a portion of the $39.5 billion being allocated from the federal government, they must:

1) Increase teacher effectiveness and address inequities in the distribution of highly qualified teachers;
2) Establish and use pre-K-through-college and career data systems to track progress and foster continuous improvement;
3) Make progress toward rigorous college- and career-ready standards and high-quality assessments;
4) Support targeted, intensive support and effective interventions to turn around schools identified for corrective action and restructuring.
