Live from DC.... I'm on Al Jazeera

I had the opportunity to go on Al Jazeera English yesterday to comment on a new report on educational equity from the Equity and Excellence Commission (a federal advisory committee chartered by Congress).  Great opportunity to talk about the progress our country is actually seeing around some important educational indicators --- including graduation rates.  We'll have more to share this Monday, when the 2013 Building a Grad Nation report is released at the annual Grad Nation Summit.

The best part of being on the show may have been that I got a text message from a friend in Sierra Leone telling me she saw it live!
