Common Core's new report, Why We're Behind: What Top Nations Teach Their Students But We Don't, excerpts national curricula, standards, and assessments from nine nations that consistently outrank us on international comparison tests. What stands out? Students in these nations receive a full diet in the liberal arts and sciences. Meanwhile our focus has narrowed to basic reading and math in recent years. Join us to learn what these models can teach us about fixing education in America.
 

Light refreshments will be provided. We thank the Bodman Foundation for their support of Why We're Behind.
