Birth Through Age 8: The Hidden Stories

School reform and the state of the economy are two huge stories in today’s media. But rarely does the public get a sense of how the policies that impact today’s young children – from birth through age 8 – will make or break chances for success on both of those fronts.  This seminar will give reporters an inside look at the hidden and often surprising stories that will shape the coming decade for students, parents, educators, American employers and the public at large.

Open to all journalists. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
