Education Secretary Arne Duncan planned to announce details of the administration’s proposed $5 billion program for a new Race to the Top-style competition, with states and districts competing for grant dollars to improve teacher quality, during a town hall meeting with teachers Wednesday. Among the changes the administration is seeking: higher teaching salaries, compensation tied to performance and more selective and improved teaching colleges.
