On the eve of the Democratic National Convention, many of the nation’s top progressive education reform groups convened a forum in Denver to highlight the growing consensus for a bold new direction in federal education policy– and to spotlight the exciting work of a new generation of reformers who are already making change happen on the ground across America.
Participants:
John Merrow, PBS (photo); Joel Klein, Chancellor, New York City Schools; Adrian Fenty, Mayor, Washington, DC; Cory Booker, Mayor, Newark; Roy Romer, Former Gov., Ed in 08; Peter Groff, Pres., Colorado State Senate. Also featuring opening remarks by Colorado Lt. Gov. Barbara O’Brien.
