In recent years, not enough attention within the education-reform movement has been paid to the classroom—that is, what exactly is being taught and how. The development of high-quality, content-rich curricula is of utmost concern as states struggle to adopt the new Common Core State Standards. The Manhattan Institute and the Thomas B. Fordham Institute are teaming up on this forum, to be held in New York City on February 28. It will focus on how to ensure that the adoption of these common standards leads to improved student learning. For more information and to register, please visit the event’s web page.
