What Teachers Told the U.S. Department of Education

Dan Brown:

Over eighty meetings with teachers and school leaders in a two-week cross-country blitz -- not bad work for a team of twelve Teaching Ambassador Fellows (TAFs) working for a year with the U.S. Department of Education.

The Department of Education's third annual back-to-school bus tour kicked off at Sequoia High School in Redwood City, California on September 12 and culminates with rally at the Department's plaza on September 21, with nearly a hundred events in between featuring Secretary Arne Duncan and top federal officials. While Secretary Duncan's appearances have naturally soaked up most of the attention-- whether he is dancing at a Denver elementary school for "Let's Move" or honoring the Topeka, Kansas site of the Brown vs. Board of Education case-- TAFs have been hosting intimate events to ensure that educators' voices are heard.
