With Texas approaching the 83rd Legislative Session, concern and controversy surrounding the increased number of standardized tests and elevated stakes for students is rising. To better inform and engage parents, educators, legislators and advocates in discussion of these issues, the LBJ School of Public Affairs will host “Measuring Up: A Statewide Conversation on High-Stakes Testing & Accountability” on Sept. 24. The event is open to the public but we do ask that you register in advance for catering purposes. Also, please feel free to share this with anyone else you think might be interested.

A networking reception that will follow the event, especially students who might be graduating soon and looking for jobs. The networking reception would be a good way to meet people already working in education in the state.
