Testing, testing: Join the online discussion tomorrow

U.S. scores on international tests make headlines, but what do they really mean? Some say they're proof that American schools are broken. Others say that the crisis-mongering is overblown. How does the U.S. really stack up internationally--and more important, what can we learn from international assessments that will help our public schools and students?

You may recall that BoardBuzz alerted you last week about the upcoming online discussion from the Center for Public Education titled, "More than a Horse Race: A Guide to International Assessments of Student Achievement."

You're invited to post your questions now or join the chat tomorrow at 2 p.m. ET to discuss and get the facts about international assessments. The Center's Policy Analyst Jim Hull and Director Patte Barth will share insights and answer your questions. You can also read "More than a Horse Race: A Guide to International Assessments of Student Achievement" here.
