High Expectations

Over the past decade, American schooling has abandoned its focus on safe, orderly schools and high academic expectations in favor of social and emotional learning and trauma-informed pedagogy, particularly in schools serving low-income students and children of color. 

Join us, in partnership with the American Enterprise Institute and the Progressive Policy Institute, as Steven F. Wilson (Pioneer Institute for Public Policy Research) presents on his upcoming book, The Lost Decade: Returning to the Fight for Better Schools, and the need to return to successful education models and school cultures.
