A University Distinguished Professor from Michigan State University at the Kauffman Seminar on Math and Science in Kansas City, MO in May 2008.
The Institute is starting its own news operation, The Hechinger Report, which has begun collaborating with established news outlets on analytic and independent coverage of issues in pre-kindergarten through higher education.
With parents, policymakers, educators and journalists still analyzing the latest math results on NAEP and pondering how math is taught, the Institute has released a new report that should help them find answers.
From the Broad Seminar on NCLB in New York:
Speakers...were helpful in analyzing the data, but [Austin, Tex. superintendent] Pascal Forgione helped humanize the numbers.-Beth Fertig,
