Message From EWA's Executive
Director
Journalists and policy experts spend lots of time talking about how America educates its students. But how well are
we teaching our teachers?
EWA will devote a one-day seminar next month to examining that controversial question. We hope you can join us Oct. 27 in Minneapolis for Ready to Teach: Rethinking Routes to the Classroom.
Reporters, editors, opinion
writers and other journalists are invited to apply for travel subsidies
to this EWA event, which will be hosted by the University of Minnesota
College of Education & Human Development at the McNamara Alumni Center in Minneapolis.
RSVP today and sign up for one of a limited number of travel subsidies. If you have questions about this event, please contact Lori Crouch. I hope to see you there!
All the best,
Caroline Hendrie
Higher Ed Seminar: Deadline to Register Nears
How much should students have to pay to earn a postsecondary
degree? At EWA's 2012 Higher Education Seminar, you'll hear
from leading experts who will examine this question, which continues to vex students,
educators and policymakers.
This journalists-only
event is hosted by the Indiana University School of Education and Indiana
University-Purdue University Indianapolis.
The deadline to book a hotel room at the conference rate is Oct. 5!
EWA will provide a limited
number of scholarships for reporters to attend the seminar. If you have questions about the seminar, please contact Kenneth Terrell.
Affirmative Action in Education: View Our Webinar
It's been almost a decade
since the Supreme Court examined affirmative action in college
admissions. In just a few weeks they'll revisit it when they hear Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin. Back in March, we hosted a
webinar to preview the case, discuss the context and weigh the possible
outcomes with Inside Higher Ed's Scott Jaschik and Education Week's Mark
Walsh. If you need to brush up on the case, their conversation makes
the perfect primer. Click here to view it.
On the Horizon
Dates and venues will be announced soon for our January STEM Education seminar, our March Diving Into Data seminar and next spring's 66th EWA National Seminar. If you are interested in sponsorship opportunities for these events, please contact Caroline Hendrie.
