An agenda for higher education reform: A keynote address by Senator Lamar Alexander | LIVE STREAM
Steep increases in tuition, lackluster graduation rates, and the struggles of student loan borrowers have put higher education reform at the top of the US education policy agenda. While federal policy debates have traditionally focused on how much should be spent on grants and loans, a growing number of Republicans and Democrats have called for more far-reaching changes to align the incentives of institutions and students, empower consumers, and create space for innovation. The upcoming reauthorization of the Higher Education Act presents an opportunity to rethink the federal approach to college opportunity, but important policy questions remain.

Teacher quality 2.0: Toward a new era in education reform
This Google Hangout event is online only.
Over the last decade, teacher-quality policy has taken center stage in US education debates nationwide. States and districts are rethinking how to fill classrooms with the best teachers, considering everything from teacher preparation to evaluation. Meanwhile, school leaders are rethinking teacher roles and school organization, which could lead to innovations that do not fit the current education policy agenda.
Please join AEI for a conversation among several contributors to the new volume “Teacher Quality 2.0: Toward a New Era in Education Reform” (Harvard Education Press, 2014), edited by Frederick M. Hess and Michael Q. McShane. Panelists will discuss the intersection of teacher-quality policy and innovation, exploring roadblocks and possibilities.
