As California embarks on a slate of reforms that could drastically change the face of public education, an upcoming symposium sponsored by EdSource will help the public and policymakers make sense of the complex issues facing educators.
The May 4 symposium brings together a diverse group of experts to discuss the key issues facing California, from implementation of a set of uniform lesson plans called Common Core, to the governor’s proposed Local Control Funding Formula for schools and the debate over standardized testing. The discussion comes against the backdrop of Proposition 30, the school funding initiative voters approved in November that will raise about $6 billion annually for public schools.
