Today, All Children: Can Teach for America Bridge the Achievement Gap? Abstract Since Teach for America's founding in 1989, it has weathered a number of criticisms: could young, well- intentioned corps members unknowingly harm children by virtue of a lack of experience in teaching and unfamiliarity with poverty-stricken, primarily Black and Latino communities? Would a two year time commitment destabilize the already unpredictable lives of poor children? Can a program recruit good teachers, even if it does not require rigorous training or experience with children? And will more educational advocates solve the seemingly intractable problems of low-income schools, if those that already exist have

  • “The Third Party Education Agenda We Need”
    “The Third Party Education Agenda We Need” Keynote address by Matt Miller to the Colorado Legacy Foundation – April 2012 Mark Twain said the perfect audience was informed, intelligent, inquisitive…and drunk. It’s a little early in the day for that last part, but I know this group is going to bring all the rest of these traits to the topic we’ll reflect on today. We meet at a surreal moment. The country faces truly serious challenges. The overarching one is how to cope with globalization and rapid technological change in an era when these broad forces have put the future of the middle class in the U.S. at risk. And yet, despite these serious challenges, our politics at the national level remain largely trivial. So far the presidential debate seems to start with contraception and end somewhere near Etch-A-Sketch. And what about education? Someone actually toted it up. When you look at the several dozen debates the Republican contenders have had through their primary season, less than one percent of the time and questions has been devoted to education. When you look at the President’s State of the Union, under two minutes in a speech that was more than an hour long was devoted to education—maybe three percent of that speech. This is crazy. Does anyone in this room think that education is one or three percent of the agenda we need to tackle in an age of global competition? I think not. And when our public life is crazy, we need to call that out.
