Democrats for Education Reform joined 18 other national and state education reform groups today to applaud the leadership and vision demonstrated by the statement of ESEA principals released by Senator Kay R. Hagan (D-NC), Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO), Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT), Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Senator Thomas Carper (D-DE), Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), Senator Chris Coons (D-DE), and Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA). DFER shares the Senators’ goal of a bipartisan reauthorization of ESEA that focuses on human capital and identifying our Nation’s most effective teachers.
