Dr. Kimbrell goes to Naples
Dr. Tom W. Kimbrell left today for his first meeting with the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). The five-day CCSSO policy conference is being held in Naples, Fla., and will involve state education chiefs, deputy chiefs and federal liaisons from across the country.
CCSSO is a leader in the state-led voluntary national common core standards initiative as well as a respected voice on other education policy matters including educator development, data-driven instruction and advances in assessments of student learning.
No doubt, a major topic at the policy session will be the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, specifically the just-issued guidance for the $4.35 billion competitive Race to the Top Fund.
