Education Report Is Call to Action | OAS Episode 180

We sat down with three guests on this podcast to discuss a new education report, “The Time is Now.” The report, based on a two-year study as well as previous research, looks at what high-performing school systems in other countries do right and how to implement those approaches in this country. The first guest is Jason Dougal, president and chief operating officer of the National Center on Education and the Economy (NCEE). Dougal, who has extensive experience in leading systemic reform efforts, talks about the research and the conclusions. NCEE was a principal organizer of the study. Two legislators who were part of a bipartisan group of 20 legislators and legislative staff involved in the study also join the podcast: Rep. Llew Jones, a Republican from Montana, and Sen. Marilyn Dondero Loop, a. Democrat from Nevada.
