Qualities for the next Secretary of Education
I support Colin Powell being the next Secretary of Education, especially since he has a strong connection to America’s Choice. www.americaschoice.org
Ten years ago, I taught ESL at a middle school that used the America’s Choice reform model and Colin Powell visited us quite frequently to ensure the program was running smoothly. With BRAC (Base Realignment And Closure) and a stronger lean towards school-family-community partnerships, Colin Powell would be able to marry the military-business-education components, and could focus on the parental involvement piece. Here is more data & research to support the DOD Model:

We need someone that is respected internationally and can move this nation forward in producing globally competitive results.
