This is a pivotal time for education reform in the United States. The historic infusion of more than $100 billion in education-stimulus money has largely run its course, the Race to the Top and i3 grant winners have been announced, and the results of midterm elections are about to shift the political landscape in the states and in Congress. Education leaders are looking to the future of K-12 policy and reform.
