Nearly 200 state education leaders, legislators, and educators joined us for the annual review of the Condition of Education in the Commonwealth, featuring the release of our 2017 Data Report and Action Guide. The Condition of Education provides a "state of the state" on key education trends, bringing together a wide-ranging set of indicators to illuminate areas of success and areas for continued improvement across the education pipeline.
This year's Action Guide looked at the concept of student-centered learning and how, as a state, we can move toward a comprehensive vision of education that makes students the unit of change.
The event featured remarks from Secretary of Education James Peyser as well as a keynote address from Andres Antonio Alonso, Professor of Practice at the Harvard Graduate School of Education/former CEO of Baltimore City Public Schools. A panel discussion featured Chris Gabrieli, Chair of the Board of Higher Education, Paul Sagan, Chair of the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, and Mary Walachy of the Board of Early Education and Care.
