Secretary Duncan on Family Engagement

Great family engagement programs will never be developed in Washington said Secretary Duncan, who answered a couple Facebook questions this week in the video below. Arne’s statement comes in response to a question regarding the importance of family engagement programs in helping students be successful.  He notes that ED is seeking to double funding for family engagement programs, with a focus on the programs that work at the local level.

Arne also responds to a comment he received from a teacher who had found the importance of 4-H in a student’s life.
