               As               admirable               as               the               Obama               administration's               policy               on               charters               may               appear               to               be,               the               President               and               his               Education               Secretary               are,               too               often,               giving               states               credit               for               talking               about               charter               schools               rather               than               actually               changing               laws               to               improve               the               likelihood               that               children               will               have               real               school               choice.
               For               example,               Education               Secretary               Arne               Duncan's               description               of               reforms               in               Tennessee,               Rhode               Island,               Indiana,               Connecticut,               Massachusetts               and               Illinois               has               been               misleading.

While               the               Secretary               has               said               that               'numerous               states               have               adopted               reforms               that               would               have               been               almost               unthinkable               a               year               ago,'               this               is               simply               not               the               case.
               No               state               cited               in               this               popular               mythology               has               revoked               limits               on               the               number               of               charters               allowed               to               open               this               year.

Several,               in               fact,               merely               fulfilled               budgetary               promises               of               charter               funding               after               having               first               wiped               them               off               the               books.
               In               reality,               most               of               the               nation's               40               charter               laws               will               need               dramatic               legislative               changes               to               develop               robust               charter               laws               that               actually               allow               for               the               growth               of               the               types               of               schools               both               President               Obama               and               Secretary               Duncan               routinely               credit               with               raising               academic               achievement               and               turning               around               students'               lives.
               We               want               to               see               states               get               bold               and               adopt               strong               charter               laws               -               which               everyone               knows               how               to               do,               but               often               aren't               courageous               enough               to               buck               the               status               quo,               the               unions,               and               even               continued               ignorance               of               what               precisely               a               charter               school               is.

But               that               isn't               happening.


               For               President               Obama               and               his               Education               Secretary               to               claim               victory               before               "Race"               participants               have               even               reached               the               starting               gate               is               disappointing.
               It               is               time               that               President               Obama               and               Secretary               Duncan               stop               championing               half               measures               and               start               demanding               real               results               and               bold               changes               in               state               laws."
               During               a               visit               to               Falls               Church,               VA,               President               Obama               and               Arne               Duncan,               Secretary               of               Education,               talked               to               thirty               6th               graders               about               an               investment               of               more               than               a               billion               dollars               to               a               budget               that               hopes               to               encourage               understandable               strategies               that               turn               about               student               achievement,               adopt               rigorous               and               high               quality               student               assessments,               teacher               evaluation,               and               professional               development,               as               well               as               innovative               and               effective               use               of               data               systems               to               track               students               performance               just               as               the               school               that               the               President               visited               ¾               Graham               Road               elementary.
               The               budget               is               titled,               "Race               To               The               Top".
               "Last               year,               we               set               aside               more               than               $4               billion               to               improve               our               schools               --               one               of               the               largest               investments               in               reform               in               our               nation's               history.

But               we               didn't               just               hand               this               money               out               to               states               that               wanted               it;               we               challenged               them               to               compete               for               it.

And               it's               the               competitive               nature               of               this               initiative               that               we               believe               helps               make               it               so               effective.

We               laid               out               a               few               key               criteria               and               said               if               you               meet               these               tests,               we'll               reward               you               by               helping               you               reform               your               schools.
               First,               we               encouraged               states               to               adopt               more               challenging               standards               that               will               actually               prepare               our               kids               for               college               and               their               careers.

We               also               encouraged               schools               to               adopt               better               assessments               --               not               just               one-size-fits-all               approaches               --               to               measure               what               our               kids               know               and               what               they're               able               to               do.
               Second,               we               urged               schools               and               school               districts               to               make               sure               we               have               excellent               principals               leading               our               schools               and               great               teachers               leading               our               classes               by               promoting               rigorous               plans               to               develop               and               evaluate               teachers               and               principals               and               by               rewarding               their               success.
               Third,               we               urged               states               to               use               cutting-edge               data               systems               to               track               a               child's               progress               throughout               their               academic               career,               and               to               link               that               child's               progress               to               their               teachers               so               we               know               what's               working               and               what's               not               working               in               the               classroom.

Fourth,               we               encouraged               states               to               show               a               stronger               commitment               to               turning               around               some               of               their               lowest-performing               schools.
               And               even               before               states               have               received               a               single               dime               of               taxpayer               money,               many               of               them               have               committed               to               instituting               important               reforms               to               better               position               themselves               for               a               Race               to               the               Top               grant.

Forty-eight               states               have               now               joined               a               nationwide               partnership               to               develop               a               common               set               of               rigorous,               career-ready               standards               in               reading               and               math.

Wisconsin               has               enacted               legislation               permitting               schools               to               link               student               achievement               to               the               performance               of               teachers               and               principals.

In               Illinois,               Louisiana,               Tennessee,               California,               we've               seen               changes               in               laws               or               policies               to               let               public               charter               schools               expand               and               succeed.

These               are               public               schools               with               more               independence               that               are               formed               by               teachers,               parents,               and               community               members.
               So               by               rewarding               some               of               these               states               submitting               applications               today,               by               extending               the               Race               to               the               Top               for               states,               by               launching               a               Race               to               the               Top               among               school               districts,               and               by               applying               the               principles               of               Race               to               the               Top               to               other               federal               programs,               we'll               build               on               this               success.

We're               going               to               raise               the               bar               for               all               our               students               and               take               bigger               steps               towards               closing               the               achievement               gap               that               denies               so               many               students,               especially               black               and               Latino               students,               a               fair               shot               at               their               dreams."
               Essentially,               Race               To               The               Top               asks               states               to               improve               reforms               centering               around               four               specific               areas:               Adopting               standards               and               assessments               that               prepare               students               to               succeed               in               college               and               the               workplace               and               to               compete               in               the               global               economy;               Building               data               systems               that               measure               student               growth               and               success,               and               inform               teachers               and               principals               about               how               they               can               improve               instruction;               Recruiting,               developing,               rewarding,               and               retaining               effective               teachers               and               principals,               especially               where               they               are               needed               most;               and               Turning               around               our               lowest-achieving               schools.
