Paul Peterson, editor of Education Next, was in San Francisco last week for the Foundation of Excellence in Education's conference. He was pleasantly pleased with what he found.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush "is promoting a strikingly innovative, bipartisan reform agenda that combines the Common Core standards promoted by the Gates Foundation and the Obama Administration with the accountability and choice principles to which he was committed during his eight years as Florida’s governor," Peterson writes.
"It is digital learning that holds together and gives spark to Bush’s agenda. Common standards provide a nationwide platform upon which next generation curricular materials can be built; choice allows students to pick the courses most suited to their needs, abilities, and interests; and accountability ensures that learning is genuine," he continues.
