Madame Secretary's rolling up at the National Press Club for lunch today, vowing to take matters into her own hands on NCLB (USA Today article here). She's expected to chat about expanding growth models, differentiating sanctions, and requiring states to adopt a uniform definition of high school graduation. More details here.

I'm all for growth models. But growth models that don't ditch the 100% proficiency fantasy are not much of an improvement. Stay tuned for the GWG's talk.
