U.S. Deputy Secretary of Education to Visit Georgia on “Raise the Bar: Lead the World” Tour
On Wednesday, May 10 and Thursday May 11, 2023, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Education Cindy Marten will continue her “Raise the Bar: Lead the World” tour by traveling to the Greater Atlanta area, to discuss how they can continue to promote academic excellence and prepare students for global competitiveness. Deputy Secretary Marten will visit the Coretta Scott King Young Women’s Leadership Academy, where she will spend time learning about how they use STEM education to accelerate learning and deliver comprehensive and rigorous education. The next day, she will visit two Gwinnett County Public Schools, Baldwin Elementary School and Paul Duke STEM High School, where she will experience their hands-on STEM learning, including multilingual STEM classes and career-connected learning. At this stop, the Deputy Secretary also will take part in a roundtable discussion with students, parents, and teachers.
The “Raise the Bar: Lead the World” tour kicked off in January, on the heels of U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona’s recent major address, “Raise the Bar: Lead the World,” where he laid out the U.S. Department of Education’s vision, his continued priorities to promote academic excellence and preparedness for global competitiveness, and the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to ensuring states, school districts, and schools have the support they need to prepare students for the 21st century global economy. The tour will continue in other states, which will be announced later.Who : |
