  As a major push by the Council of Chief State School Officers and the National Governors Association for common academic standards gains steam, challenges and questions abound: Is their approach a wise one? Will implementation details energize or deflect the momentum? Using the latest data and journalism in Quality Counts 2010, our guests will provide insight and perspective on this timely issue. Join us for an in-depth discussion of the pros and cons of the new effort to establish common standards and assessments across states.
