Once an educational conservative and an early supporter of President George W. Bush’s “No Child Left Behind” policy, Diane Ravitch has shaken up the education world by doing a complete about-face on testing, accountability and the merits of charter schools.
Through her speeches, her appearances on such popular TV programs as Jon Stewart’s Daily Show, her tweets, and her best-selling book, “The Death and Life of the Great American School System” Ravitch continues to take on the privatizers, the charter school movement, and those who have little understanding of what goes on in the classroom.
Tickets are just $5, and can be purchased from your site representative, or at the SCTA office. Hope to see you there!
