Diane Ravitch, one of the country's major researchers/theorists on the topic of school reform will be speaking this evening at 6 pm at WSU. The event is free and open to the public.

In her most recent book, The Death and Life of the Great American School System, she reverses her long-standing support of charter schools and high stakes testing as effective means to reform urban education in the US.

If you have an interest in urban school reform, it should be an interesting and informative evening.
