Conversations About Education 2015: Building a GradNation

Presented by The Indianapolis Public Library and WFYI Public Broadcasting at Central Library

The entire community, including parents, policymakers and practitioners, is invited to a discussion on ways to improve high school graduation rates. Special guest will be John Bridgeland, CEO of Civic Enterprises, a public policy firm in Washington, D.C., and co-author of "Building a GradNation," an initiative that has launched a "Civic Marshall Plan" to meet the national goal of a 90 percent high school graduation rate by 2020. Bridgeland will discuss promising strategies, ways to improve K-12 practices, and implications for the 2015 report scheduled for release in May. This program is co-sponsored by WFYI and the American Graduate Initiative.
