Reviewing the Obama Administration's First Year
The Obama administration has been busy shaping education policy since the first days of 2009. The stimulus package, the "Race to the Top" fund, and initiatives on college lending, merit pay for teachers, and charter schooling have all been at the forefront of the public discussion of education reform. President Obama has also been credited for his own strong support of charter schools and merit pay. The reauthorization of No Child Left Behind will be on the agenda for 2010.
As the president prepares for his annual State of the Union address, AEI resident scholar and director of education policy studies Frederick M. Hess and fellow panelists will discuss what to make of the administration's current agenda and what to expect in the future. AEI visiting scholar Mark Schneider, who is also vice president at the American Institutes for Research, AEI adjunct scholar Andy Smarick, and Kevin Carey, policy director at Education Sector, will offer their analyses of current and forthcoming education reform efforts. Alice Johnson Cain, education director at the Hope Street Group and a former senior adviser to Chairman George Miller of the House Committee on Education and Labor, will provide a Capitol Hill perspective. Andrew Kelly, research fellow in education policy at AEI, will moderate the discussion.
