Fixing Our Schools
Reforming Our Reform Agenda
The US has been on a educational reform track for the past 50 years, starting with the Civil Rights Act and continuing to our acceptance of charter schools and other levers of change. Data show regarding student outcomes are less than compelling, so how do we change this cycle? This session offers solutions and directions for changing our public schools.
The Higher Education Arms Race
How Much is Enough?
With the President of the United States and major philanthropies pushing for more higher education, it is important to question where the tipping point is on how much is too enough or too much. This session uses data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and other sources to look at trends in college attainment in the United States and other countries.
Understanding the ROI of Education
What are the true returns to education? Is it worth the cost? Or have we come to a point where the cost is too much to justify the investment? This session will look at both sides of this argument, giving participants information to make up their own mind about where we are on this issue.
The Affordability of Higher Education
With college tuition and fees continuing to sky rocket over twice the rate of inflation, Dr. Swail discusses trends in college costs and how students and families can prepare for one of the most costly decisions we make in life: a higher education.
