Live at the National Constitution Center Former Secretaries of Education on What Education Means for Democracy
On February 5, Jeffrey Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center, moderated a panel hosted by the National Council for the Social Studies as a part of their annual conference. The panel featured three former U.S. Secretaries of Education: Rod Paige (2001 – 2005), Arne Duncan (2009 – 2015), and John B. King, Jr. (2016 – 2017). They share stories of the teachers who shaped them, perspectives on teaching history honestly, and reflections on public education's contributions to democracy.
Many thanks to the National Council for the Social Studies for providing the audio for Live at the National Constitution Center listeners.
