  • The unique benefits and features of Google Chromebooks for Education
  • How Google Chromebooks, Apps for Education, and other web tools can be used to improve student learning, collaboration, and innovation

A Nation at Risk: 30 Years Later
Wednesday, April 17, 2013 at 2pm ET

Register
In 1983, the 18-member National Commission on Excellence in Education established by President Ronald Reagan released its comprehensive report on the state of America’s education system, titled “A Nation at Risk: The Imperative for Educational Reform.” A scathing critique of the nation’s schools, the report was a call to action on education reform.

The report, and the subsequent national discussion about the quality and effectiveness of public schools, was a landmark moment in American politics as well as education, and helped to establish the political and cultural battle lines over public education that continue to exist today.

Attend this web seminar to participate in an interactive discussion with experienced educators from District Administration magazine about the legacy of A Nation at Risk, as well as what has changed, where education reform stands today and what the future could hold.

Topics will include:

  • The initial impact of the report on education in 1983
  • How the effects of the report can still be seen today
  • Where education reform stands and where it could lead in the future
  • Plus, be part of the discussion with an interactive Q&A
Speakers:

Dan Kinnaman – President and Publisher
District Administration

Odvard Egil Dyrli – Executive Editor

Professor Emeritus
University of Connecticut School of Education

Randall Collins – Executive Director

Retired Superintendent
