"It's now more important than ever that we ensure our graduates are ready to work in
this global economy. Rigorous standards in all subjects, but especially science and math,
must be part of every classroom to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
The Summit will provide policymakers and educators with ideas for how to accomplish
this goal." Dr. Judith Rizzo, Executive Director and CEO James B. Hunt, Jr. Institute for Educational Leadership and Policy |
