exit memorandum</a>, titled “Giving Every Student a Fair Shot: Progress Under
the Obama Administration’s Education Agenda.” “I would like to share with
you the great progress our nation has made in spurring systemic reform and
promoting innovation across America’s education system -- from preschool through
college -- over the last eight years, and highlight critical areas where we
must build on promising practices and success,” he notes. “President
Obama came into office with a strong vision for improving education to advance
all students’ opportunity and success. Elements of that vision included
expanding access to quality preschool, raising graduation rates, and taking
actions to help all students achieve to high standards. It also included
promoting quality instruction; measuring student achievement so schools and
families would know if students were succeeding; supporting great educators,
especially for our highest-needs students; improving students’ access to
technologies that can personalize learning; and increasing college
accessibility, affordability, and completion. I am proud to say that the
country has made significant progress toward that vision.” He goes on to
outline significant progress. He also offers a “roadmap” to sustain and
accelerate progress. </span></p>
