Interactive Think Tank Panel

Panelists address questions of quality comprehensive and balanced curriculum, instruction, and assessments with active participation of audience members.

Recent policy research has identified four key focus areas:
1) Access to a challenging curriculum;
2) Expectations of (and from) students;
3) Access to quality teaching; and
4) Inequitable distribution of resources.
