Some of you know that this summer I am a Teacher in Residence at the Museum of Science (MOS) in Boston charged with the task of making connections between STEM and writing! Today was an exciting day at the MOS as Governor Patrick announced his plan to double the cap for charter schools right here in the Museum. After he spoke of the need to find creative ways to close the achievement gap, the governor was followed by U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan. When the press conference was over I was very happy to have the opportunity to meet Secretary Duncan.
