Free webinar on the Iceberg Effect

Thanks to AASA's new Collaborative, you can connect with the authors of the Iceberg Effect report on Wednesday, May 6 at 2:00 pm (Eastern).   Join James Harvey and Gregory Hutchings, Jr. (Shaker Heights, Ohio), of the Roundtable, and Charles Fowler, president of the Horace Mann League, to discuss this groundbreaking report. Moderated by Rhenda Meiser. Interested? Register at link below.

International assessments are a hot topic, but they're loaded with inappropriate comparisons. Educators must understand the context in which national school systems operate. Here's what's left out of these international assessments, with whom the United States should be compared, and how American schools perform in context.

This webinar looks at school performance in Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.S. and the United Kingdom. You'll learn a lot, be surprised at what you hear, and leave the webinar able to discuss these issues like a pro.

James Harvey, Lead author
