What We Learned At Gov. Rick Scott's Education Summit

Last week Gov Rick Scott called parents, educators, business leaders and others together to talk about education.

Scott wanted their thoughts on new education standards known as Common Core, Florida’s next standardized test, school grades and teacher evaluations. He says he’ll consider their recommendations.

StateImpact Florida’s John O’Connor attended the summit and found some people were frustrated they were taking on so much in three days. He talked about what he learned with WUSF’s Craig Kopp.
