EVENT: Assessing the President's Preschool Plan
March 14 at 10:00 a.m. EST
Hosted by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute
1016 16th Street, NW, 7th Floor
Washington, DC 20036
In his State of the Union address, President Obama called for making preschool available to every child in America. But questions abound: Is universal preschool politically and fiscally feasible—or even educationally necessary? Should we be expending federal resources on universal pre-K or targeting true Kindergarten-readiness programs for the neediest kids? How robust is the evidence of lasting impacts? And what exactly is the President proposing?
Join the Thomas B. Fordham Institute for a review of the research on preschool education and a lively debate on the prospects of the president's preschool plan.
Speakers:
Sara Mead, associate partner at Bellwether Education Partners and former director of the Early Education Initiative at the New America Foundation
Grover J. "Russ" Whitehurst, director of the Brown Center on Education Policy at the Brookings Institution and former director of the Institute for Education Sciences
The Thomas B. Fordham Institute is the nation's leader in advancing educational excellence for every child through quality research, analysis, and commentary, as well as on-the-ground action and advocacy in Ohio.
