The VIVA Project (Grassroots Teachers) Meets With Secretary of Education Arne Duncan

This is great–The VIVA Project met with the head of the Department of Education in December, 2010 (DOE blog post about the meeting here). These teachers from around the country want to raise their voices and be heard in education reform efforts.

I’d love to see the authentic voices of grassroots parents have a voice in education reform too.
