The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation is re-releasing its "Looking Back to Look Forward" report with updated recommendations in the evolving landscape of federal K-12 education policy. The original report provides a comprehensive review of what the best available quantitative evidence tells us about the impact of federally driven, test-based accountability. As the federal government expands school choice and decreases the federal role in education, state education agencies and local districts have a greater role to play in ensuring the maintenance of quality, comparable data on student achievement used to drive meaningful school improvement.

This webinar highlights the need for leadership and a discussion from the business community on why accountability matters for our future workforce. The event will feature Dr. Dan Goldhaber of the American Institutes for Research in conversation with state and local business leaders across the country.
