Read the first sentence for my Oxford Round Table Presentation: then click on the workshop below. I am on a mission! "Primary indicators reveal that the educational system in the United States is failing in its mission. Academic performance in the U.S. has fallen from second place in the world in the 1950’s to seventeenth place in 2012 (Petersen and Huffington Post). The attrition rate of new teachers within the first five years is nearly fifty percent and growing, resulting in an acute shortage of experienced educators (Ingersoll, Education Week, 2012, Forbes). School violence, some of it catastrophic, has become a familiar occurrence (CDC Youth Violence Protection). Student dropout rates are in excess of thirty percent in low income communities. Cheating scandals have upended entire school districts, (Pixley, NY Times 2013). Public and private schools are closing, forcing students to relocate to unfamiliar areas. (Keen USA Today 2013)."
