The Changing Role of Education in America

January 8, 2014 1 Comment

Hoosiers, like those in a number of other states, have been stuck indoors the last few days, due to record-breaking temperatures and snow.  Many have likely put away their Christmas decorations and exhausted projects in the home, which makes this a perfect time to watch some of the videos from the Common Core conference that was held at the University of Notre Dame this past September.  This all-day conference, entitled “The Changing Role of Education in America: Consequences of Common Core,” brought together leading experts from around the country to peel back the many layers Common Core.  We are particularly grateful to  American Principles Project for putting this conference together, as well as to the co-sponsors of the event, the Pioneer Institute and the Heartland Institute.  We also are grateful to Professor Gerald V. Bradley, who made having the conference at Notre Dame possible, as well as to the numerous speakers who participated.

A “high-lights” video of the conference can be seen here.  Since watching the video of the entire conference in one sitting would be nearly impossible, below are links to the individual speeches in the order they were given.  We hope this makes it easier for our readers to copy, paste, and share a particular speech with an individual, with whom they think a certain subject matter would be of interest.
