Much discussion about the Common Core State Standards has emphasized the desirability of the enterprise or the minutiae of “implementation.” At this AEI event, prominent superintendents and leading thinkers will instead focus more broadly on what it will take for school systems to adopt the Common Core effectively.

In particular, the discussion will focus on the challenges and opportunities surrounding talent, learning technology, and federal and state policy. Indeed, when it comes to improving literacy instruction, many superintendents must navigate a thicket of contractual, cultural, and political barriers — a task that may prove even more daunting as states work to implement the Common Core.

Please join us for a discussion featuring dynamic superintendents who are tackling these challenges in the nation’s school districts and the leaders supporting them in their efforts.
