Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education
John Fensterwald, Editor-at-Large, EdSource — Moderator

U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan has just announced he will be leaving the Obama administration at the end of the year. He will reflect on his tenure, which has included leading initiatives to improve the opportunities and outcome for students of all ages. This work has included focusing on transforming struggling schools, securing $10 billion to prevent teacher layoffs, increasing the Pell grant program, and eliminating student-loan subsidies to banks. In December, Secretary Duncan will return to his Chicago home where he once headed the city’s public schools and a non-profit foundation that helped send inner-city children to college.

We will explore Duncan’s legacy and impact and gain insight on what comes next for this passionate educator.

This program was recorded in front of a live audience at The Commonwealth Club of California on October 21, 2015
