A research paper will be presented at this conference that identifies the countries and states which have shown the greatest improvement in test performance in recent years. Several scholars will present additional papers that identify factors which cause or are correlated with system improvement either within the United States or internationally, and we will have practitioners join us from many of the most improved places to speak to their state’s or countries’ experiences.

Keynote addresses will be delivered by Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin and Maureen McLaughlin, Senior Advisor to the Secretary and Director of International Affairs, U.S. Department of Education.
