Republic 7 Corners, 221 Cedar Avenue, Minneapolis MN 55454

Congress is soon expected to push through a rewrite of No Child Left Behind; Minnesota has again changed the tests it asks schools to administer; and everyone, everywhere, seems to have an opinion about Common Core. At the next MinnPost Social, education reporter Beth Hawkins examines the current state of affairs in measuring student, teacher and school performance: How much is enough? How much is too much? And are recent events spelling the end of an era when it comes to testing?

Pre-sale to MinnPost members begins Thursday, September 10th. Remaining tickets will be available to the public on Monday, September 14th.
