Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels closed things out at the Education in Action summit.

Day 2 of the Education in Action conference started with U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan talking about what his agency was doing well — and where they had fallen short.

Much of the day’s discussion focused on teacher training, improving principles and how to explain Common Core State Standards and make sure they are implemented.
