Sponsored by the Restructuring Group of ASCD Edge; moderated by Dr. Mamzelle Adolphine, group facilitator.

Promoting great teachers and leaders and using standards and assessments to improve instruction are two of the areas that the Race to the Top initiative requires schools to address. In this webinar, you will learn how two strategies have been used to address each of these areas. One strategy illustrates how a seventh grade science teacher expanded her practice by using inquiry project learning. The other strategy focuses on how educational technology is used for assessment.
