National and state education experts, educators, and policymakers will discuss and debate digital learning in the era of the Common Core academic standards initiative, teacher evaluations, governance changes, and “doing more with less” financially. Confirmed speakers include the following:

  • Steve Dackin, Reynoldsburg City Schools

  • Lisa Duty, KnowledgeWorks
  • Bryan Hassel, Public Impact

  • Paul Hill, Center on Reinventing Public Education
