Description

The world is changing and the American education system hasn’t kept pace. Experts from across the ideological spectrum agree that we must dramatically retool education in this country — but the question is how? Forty-five states and the District of Columbia have now agreed to a seismic shift in the teaching of language arts and math by embracing the Common Core State Standards. Join us for a special forum moderated by education philanthropist Lynda Resnick to hear from some of the nation’s leading experts in education and workforce development as they discuss the hard work of creating a paradigm shift in how we equip our children for a radically changing global economy.
