State of Education Address 2011

In his first major address following a period of political turmoil in Wisconsin, State Supt. Tony Evers calls for education to move past the problems of adults to an urgent focus on children and their future.

He discusses four questions \Wisconsin is addressing to modernize education and ensure every child is a graduate:
- What, and how, should kids learn?
- How do we know if they learned it?
- What do we do when they don't?
- How do we pay for it?
