In Short

In NYC Tomorrow: It’s Broke So Fix It

How can we finally bring outstanding teaching to scale? What’s at stake if we don’t? And where do early childhood teachers — those in preschool and the early grades of elementary schools — fit in the larger conversation on teacher quality?

Slate and the New America Foundation are hosting an event tomorrow evening in New York City to push the conversation in some new directions. Join us at 92Y Tribeca at 6:30 p.m. — we’d love to see you.
