Governor Dannel Malloy (D-CT) talked about his efforts in his state to address educational “achievement gaps,” the disparity in academic performance between groups of students. Connecticut had the largest gap in the country. Governor Malloy highlighted his 2012 education reform bill, which increased funding for charter schools, piloted a new teacher evaluation system, and allowed the state government to take over chronically underperforming schools. He said that the usual model of equality of opportunity to learn was outdated and the focus should be on the success of the individual. Following his speech, he answered questions from Rick Hess and from members of the audience. “School Reform Dos and Don’ts: Lessons from Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy” was held by the American Enterprise Institute. close
