当伊斯蒂文•罗德里格斯来到纽约时只有9岁,一句英语都不会。但在优秀的老师和创新的辅导计划支持下,上个月,这个普通工人的儿子被大学录取了,将在今年秋季入学。在欢呼雀跃的家长和邻里的簇拥下,他带领全班从学校出发去往邮局举行庆祝游行,那是他们寄出大学申请书的地方。
Five years ago, we set out to change the odds for all our kids. We worked with lenders to reform student loans, and today, more young people are earning college degrees than ever before. Race to the Top, with the help of governors from both parties, has helped states raise expectations and performance. Teachers and principals in schools from Tennessee to Washington, D.C., are making big strides in preparing students with skills for the new economy - problem solving, critical thinking, science, technology, engineering, and math. Some of this change is hard. It requires everything from more challenging curriculums and more demanding parents to better support for teachers and new ways to measure how well our kids think, not how well they can fill in a bubble on a test. But it's worth it - and it's working.
5年前,我们竭尽所能为孩子们努力,我们和贷款者一起改革学生贷款。今天,越来越的年轻人能够获得大学学位。在两党领导人的帮助下,我们力争上游,让各个州提升了期望值和表现。从田纳西州到华盛顿,从校长到老师,都在尽最大的努力让学生学习当今社会的技能——解决问题、批判性思维、科学、技术、工程和数学。其中一些改变是很困难的,需要更多挑战性的课程,需要更多要求高的家长给教师更好的支持,需要新的方法去检验孩子的学习成果,而不仅仅是考试分数。但是这一切都是值得的——也正在进行中。
