On Wednesday, May 10 and Thursday May 11, 2023, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Education Cindy Marten will continue her “Raise the Bar: Lead the World” tour by traveling to the Greater Atlanta area, to discuss how  they can continue to promote academic excellence and prepare students for  global competitiveness. Deputy Secretary Marten will visit the Coretta Scott  King Young Women’s Leadership Academy, where she will spend time learning about  how they use STEM education to accelerate learning and deliver comprehensive  and rigorous education. The next day, she will visit two Gwinnett County Public  Schools, Baldwin Elementary School and Paul Duke STEM High School, where she  will experience their hands-on STEM learning, including multilingual STEM  classes and career-connected learning. At this stop, the Deputy Secretary also  will take part in a roundtable discussion with students, parents, and  teachers.
The “Raise the Bar: Lead the World” tour kicked off in January, on the heels of U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona’s recent major address, “Raise the Bar: Lead  the World,” where he laid out the U.S. Department of Education’s  vision, his continued priorities to promote academic excellence and preparedness for global competitiveness, and the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to ensuring states, school districts, and schools have the support they need to prepare students for the 21st century global economy. The tour will continue in other states, which will be announced later.
