"The classroom teachers don't have a lot of faith in the education oversight machinery."

"For too long, though, America's higher education system has lacked a focus on outcomes and value for students and families."

"Teachers want to be free to teach, and they want to be able to teach with regards to the time, as opposed to filling out paperwork."

"I worked very, very hard on the middle school piece of the ESSA, and on the innovation schools piece."
