U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan took his national teacher recruitment campaign on the road to a town hall meeting with actor-turned-teacher Tony Danza yesterday. Touting the U.S. Department of Education's TEACH program, a national campaign to attract more people to be teachers, Duncan told the gathering of about 1,000 people at Temple's Performing Arts Center that teaching was crucial to the country's future. "If we can attract the next generation of great teachers . . . we're going to transform education in this country," Duncan said.
