A Webcast of Yesterday’s Next Social Contract presentation

If you missed yesterday’s event, fear not. A webcast is now available below, as well as slides and remarks I made as part of our presentation on the Next Social Contract for the Primary Years of Education. The event featured remarks by Jacqueline Jones, senior advisor to the secretary for early learning at the U.S. Department of Education; Jerry D. Weast, superintendent of Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland; and Robert H. Dugger, chairman of the advisory board for the Partnership for America’s Economic Success. 

We welcome feedback and continued discussion on many points in the paper. And thanks to the more than 100 people who attended yesterday.
