http://www.ed.gov/news/av/video/edtv/index.html
The U.S. Department of Education's February broadcast of "Education News Parents Can Use" will include U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings; Chair of the National Math Panel, Dr. Larry Faulkner; CEO of Girl Scouts U.S.A., Kathy Cloninger; and other esteemed guests, including award-winning school practitioners and business leaders.
The show will be broadcast on Tuesday, February 20, 2007, from 8:00 - 9:00 PM EST.
Guests on this edition of Education News will talk about the American Competitiveness Initiative and explore such questions as:
- What is the "global economy" and what new demands does it place on our students and our schools?
- How does No Child Left Behind strengthen math and science? How will the 2007 science assessments help?
- How will the American Competitiveness Initiative help to improve math and science instruction, student competence and achievement, and ultimately close the achievement gaps?
- How can parents encourage their children to learn mathematics and science outside the classroom?
- What should students be learning in mathematics and science at the elementary, middle and high school grades? What must change in the way these subjects are currently being taught?
- How can we encourage all students -- especially girls and minority students -- to pursue math and science careers?
