Race to the Top Information Video
In late March, Dr. Mark Pevey, Race to the Top Implementation Director for the Georgia Department of Education, made a presentation to the PAGE staff. We videotaped that presentation and have edited it into five segments, the longest of which runs approximately twenty-five minutes.
1. Race to the Top: Philosophy and Intent
2. Standards and Assessments
3. Low Achieving Schools and Data Systems
4. Innovation Fund Activities and STEM
5. Great Teachers/Great Leaders: Evaluations
We invite you to view Dr. Pevey's presentation to learn about this initiative and its implications for your schools: http://www.pageinc.org/associations/9445/pagetv/
You may order up to three copies of the program on DVD from PAGE at no charge. Please direct your request for a DVD to Pevey@pageinc.org
