WCER Brownbag Graduate Training Series

No Child Left Behind has been criticized for introducing perverse incentives, overburdening school officials and teachers, excessive testing and being underfunded. But less attention has been given to the philosophical and cultural assumptions behind the law and the values that it embodies. Tom Popkewitz and Harry Brighouse will provide analysis of the values at stake and the underpinnings of accountability as it relates to social inclusion/exclusion and the sciences of education.
