The past ten years have seen remarkable ferment in the area of educational reform, with repercussions for states, local public school districts, and private schools. But where are we heading next? On the one hand, things currently seem to be in a holding pattern, with Congress unable to see its way through to the reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind Act or uncertainties surrounding the next presidential election. At the same time, this holding pattern coexists with a sense of volatility. The loose bipartisan coalition that has steered national education policy along a fairly steady course through Republican and Democratic administrations alike may be unraveling. Our panelists will look beyond the 2012 election and explore the prospects of national education reform under various scenarios.
