Live Chat: Perspectives on Common Standards
Tuesday, January 26, 3 p.m. Eastern timeAs a major push by the Council of Chief State School Officers and the National Governors Association for common academic standards gains steam, challenges and questions abound: Is their approach a wise one? Will implementation details energize or deflect the momentum? Using the latest data and journalism in Quality Counts 2010, our guests provided insight and perspective on this timely issue. Read on for an in-depth discussion of the pros and cons of the new effort to establish common standards and assessments across states.
