In the first of four panel discussions this spring, experts from the Department of Curriculum and Instruction will discuss pressing issues of education today and into the future. The first panel will discuss: current uses and abuses of standardized testing in the U.S.; effects of testing on diverse populations; teacher accountability and the new NCLB legislation; and international and national comparisons. The panel of experts will include Sarah Lubienski, Sarah McCarthey, and Patrick Smith. A discussion moderated by William Trent will follow the panelists’ presentations. Please join us for this panel discussion on Friday, January 29, from 12:00 to 1:00 in room 22 Education. Light lunch will be provided.
