BACK NOW, LIVE AT THE MAYFLOWER HOTEL IN WASHINGTON D.C. IT'S AN ALL DAY FORUM ON EDUCATIONAL ISSUES.... |
| 00:00:41 |
|
INTRODUCE THE MEMBERS OF THE PANEL. WE ARE DIRECTED TO SAY NO MORE THAN ONE LINE ABOUT EACH PERSON.... |
| 00:05:23 |
|
I THINK MARGARET AND I WOULD HAVE A GREAT TIME. I HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO BE ABLE TO REFLECT ON... |
| 00:08:33 |
|
THANKS, VICKIE. BILL IS CEO OF A FORTUNE 500 COMPANY. IT'S THE BLUE CHIP ORGANIZATION OF CORPORATE... |
| 00:09:04 |
|
THERE ARE PRINCIPLES MAKING IT TRUE. THE COMPANY WITH THE BEST PEOPLE WINS. THAT'S A FACT. SO, I... |
| 00:11:37 |
|
GENE. GENE HAS A NICE POSTING FOR SEEING WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE LABS OF ALL 50 STATES. WHAT'S ENGAGING... |
| 00:14:10 |
|
MIKE IS FROM MOST ROUTINELY THE FRONTIER STATE AND ONE PRESIDENT IN A, WHAT IS IT, THE LARGEST OF... |
| 00:14:27 |
|
THE ISSUES WE LOOK AT ARE PRIMARY TO WHAT WE DO IN CALIFORNIA. LOOKING AT HOW THE EXPECTATIONS WE... |
| 00:16:42 |
|
LET'S START WITH THE ISSUE OF HOW UNFIT IS UNFIT? MIKE, BACK TO YOU AGAIN. MORE THAN HALF FAIL A TEST... |
| 00:17:07 |
|
ONE THING WE PUT IN PLACE WITH THE EARLY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM IS ANALYZE WHAT HAPPENED WHEN STUDENTS... |
| 00:17:43 |
|
WHAT ABOUT WHEN CORPORATES ARE TOGETHER. WHAT'S THE SIZE OF THE GAP TO GET A GOOD ENTRY LEVEL JOB... |
| 00:17:50 |
|
IF YOU LOOK AT THE WORLD TODAY, YOU RECOGNIZE YOU CAN SOURCE TALENT ANYWHERE. IT'S GLOBAL. IT'S A... |
| 00:19:04 |
|
IT'S ALL OVER THE WORLD. YOU ARE DEEPLY IN INDIA. WHAT CAN YOU ACCOMPLISH IN INDIA THAT'S HARD TO... |
| 00:19:17 |
|
WE HIRED 58,000 PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD LAST YEAR. ABOUT 15,000 OF THEM WERE IN INDIA. IT'S AN INTERESTING... |
| 00:21:12 |
|
IF YOU WERE TALKING TO HALF DOZEN CEOs AND THE CONVERSATION IS EXPANSIVE, WOULD THIS GROUP FOCUS ON... |
| 00:21:28 |
|
THEY WOULD ALL FOCUS ON ATTRACTING AND RETAINING TALENT. THEY WOULD THINK ABOUT IT GLOBALLY. WHAT... |
| 00:22:20 |
|
WHAT IS THE VIEW OF U.S. SECONDARY ENL INDICATION OR DO PEOPLE NOT HAVE A VIEW. |
| 00:22:27 |
|
I KNOW, TWO OR THREE SPECIFICS. IN CHINA, LAST YEAR, IN CONVERSATIONS WITH THEIR LEADERS THEIR SATEMENT... |
| 00:24:06 |
|
IT'S NOT A GOOD ONE. |
| 00:24:08 |
|
IT'S NOT. THEY ARE DEVOTING TREMENDOUS RESOURCES TO REACH WHAT AMERICA REACHED. THEY PRESENT IT IN... |
| 00:24:41 |
|
VICKIE, WHAT ARE YOU SEEING? |
| 00:24:42 |
|
THE SAME THING. A LEVEL OF CLARITY AND TRANSPARENCY TRANSPARENCY. HOW THEY THINK ABOUT IT FROM A... |
| 00:25:28 |
|
WHEN DO YOU THINK THE VIEW OF THE UNITED STATES BEGAN TO TILT? 20 YEARS HAPPENING. LAST FIVE YEARS?... |
| 00:25:35 |
|
TILT IN TERMS OF -- |
| 00:25:38 |
|
TO BE LESS IMPRESSED. THE QUALITY OF THE U.S. SCHOOL SYSTEMS, THE SECONDARY SCHOOL SYSTEM. |
| 00:25:47 |
|
I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S WE TILTED. WE'RE NOT KEEPING PACE. IT IS A -- I DON'T THINK IT'S SO MUCH INTENTIONAL... |
| 00:26:26 |
|
THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. THERE'S EDUCATION, THEN THE SPECIAL SAUCE. WE STILL HAVE THE SPECIAL SAUZ. PEOPLE... |
| 00:27:41 |
|
GENE, DID YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING HERE? |
| 00:27:46 |
|
JUST THAT IT SEEMS TO ME AS WE TALKED WITH THE OTHER COUNTRIES, THERE STILL IS A SENSE THAT THE UNITED... |
| 00:28:34 |
|
I WANT TO ADD ONE OTHER THING. I BELIEVE ONE OF THE STRENGTHS WE HAVE, I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT... |
| 00:29:04 |
|
ONE QUESTION ON THIS. I WAS LOOKING BACK AT THE LITERATURE AND THIS COMPLAINT, ESPECIALLY BY CORPORATE... |
| 00:29:44 |
|
I THINK THERE'S BOTH. THERE'S FATIGUE. WE ARE ADVOCATES IN THE NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND. YOU CAN DECIDE... |
| 00:31:32 |
|
TO WRAP UP THIS TOPIC, I WAS REMEMBERING WHEN I WAS PUTTING NOTES TOGETHER, THE TURN OF THE LAST CENTURY,... |
| 00:33:05 |
|
I PICKED UP ON IT INITIALLY. I THINK MY DEFINITION OF THE FIRST ROUND TO ADDRESS THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN... |
| 00:37:18 |
|
THE BOTTOM UP STRATEGY. |
| 00:37:24 |
|
I HEARD GOVERNOR PAWLENTY OF MINNESOTA SAY AMERICA IS STILL THE BEST IN THE WORLD. WE FORGET OUR 50... |
| 00:38:19 |
|
IF YOU HAD TO PLACE A BET TO PRODUCE COMMON STANDARDS, WOULD YOU BET ON THIS BOTTOM'S UP APPROACH?... |
| 00:38:26 |
|
I'M NOT SAYING -- I THINK -- EARLIER, WE HAD THE CONVERSATION CAN WE GET THROUGH IT THROUGH PLAN A... |
| 00:39:19 |
|
POLITICS OF THE ORIGINAL STANDARDS. WHAT HAPPENED? WHEN DID IT HAPPEN? WHAT HAPPENED? HOW OVER IS... |
| 00:39:27 |
|
HOW OVER IS IT? I THINK IT'S PRETTY OVER. I THINK IT CAME OUT OF THE FRUSTRATION THAT YOU MENTIONED... |
| 00:40:45 |
|
IF THIS IS THE LARGEST EFFORT GOING ON, DESCRIBE THE MOVEMENT. WHO IS DOING IT? WHO IS FUNDING IT?... |
| 00:40:59 |
|
WELL, THE ORGANIZATIONS I MENTIONED EARLIER WERE DOING THE TECHNICAL WORK. IT'S WORK BEING DONE UNDER... |
| 00:43:42 |
|
BACK TO THE FATIGUE OF BUSINESS, THE STANDARDS DISCUSSION. THE AVERAGE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF A CEO OF... |
| 00:45:17 |
|
IT'S INTERESTING, TOO THAT -- I CAN SEE A SIMILAR PATTERN EMERGING AT THE STATE LEVEL. GOVERNORS COME... |
| 00:45:57 |
|
I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY IN WORK WITH THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IHEAR FREQUENTLY WE THINK IN TERMS OF... |
| 00:46:09 |
|
SO IF EACH OF YOU FOR A MOMENT HAD A MAGIC WAND AND YOU COULD GET ONE DESIRE FOR EDUCATION REFORM,... |
| 00:46:29 |
|
FOR ME, IT WOULD BE RIGHT AT THE TOP, NLTS YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING. YOU AREN'T GOING TO KNOW WHETHER... |
| 00:47:02 |
|
I WOULD AGREE. I THINK THERE'S NOTHING MORE IMPACTFUL THAN WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN KIDS AND TEACHERS... |
| 00:47:30 |
|
AND I THINK THAT GOES ALL THE WAY UP. I THINK IN MANY PLACES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, PARTICULARLY... |
| 00:47:59 |
|
I GUESS I WOULD JUST LEAVE IT WITH YOU PROFESSIONALS TO DECIDE WHAT'S AT THE TOP OF THE LIST. I GUESS... |
| 00:48:52 |
|
LET'S OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS IF WE MAY. IF SOMEBODY -- WHY DON'T WE MAKE SURE ANYONE WHO HAS A QUESTION... |
| 00:49:07 |
|
YEAH, MY QUESTION IS BASICALLY THIS. AND I AM SOMEBODY WHO SUPPORTS SOME FORM OF NATIONAL NOT FEDERAL... |
| 00:50:36 |
|
WELL, I WOULD SAY IT'S THE BEST BET WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE OTHER ALTERNATIVES ON... |
| 00:52:27 |
|
VICKI, WHAT'S YOUR CONFIDENCE LEVEL? |
| 00:52:28 |
|
I THINK THERE ARE A VARIETY OF WAYS TO GO ABOUT IT, AS GENE SAID, AND THAT STATES WILL TAKE DIFFERENT... |
| 00:53:44 |
|
ANOTHER QUESTION. |
| 00:53:46 |
|
ON THIS SIDE. IF I MAY. I WAS ONCE ON THE CALIFORNIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION WITH A PARTNER WITH... |
| 00:55:24 |
|
PLEASE. |
| 00:55:26 |
|
MY NAME IS TOM. I'M WITH THE NATIONAL MATH AND SCIENCE INITIATIVE. AND ALONG THE TOPIC OF A SENSE... |
| 00:56:03 |
|
FIRST DECISION WE MAKE IS WE DO NOT LOWER OUR DECISIONS TO SATISFY OR GUARANTEE SUCCESS FOR THOSE... |
| 00:58:01 |
|
AND, GENE, I CERTAINLY AGREE WITH, AND I KNOW THAT YOU ARE WORKING HARD ON THAT ISSUE. IT JUST SEEMS... |
| 00:58:43 |
|
THANK YOU. |
| 00:58:45 |
|
BOB WISE WITH THE ALLIANCE FOR EDUCATION. YOU STAND AT AN INTERESTING INTERSECTION BECAUSE YOU REPRESENT... |
| 00:59:23 |
|
BOB, BEFORE YOU STEP ASIDE, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVOCACY ON THIS ISSUE AND YOUR ROLE IN OUR... |
| 01:01:25 |
|
OUR PANELISTS HAVE BEEN EAGER TO USE THESE LAST COUPLE OF MINUTES TO, ON BEHALF OF THEIR ORGANIZATIONS,... |
| 01:01:46 |
|
