The Role of Pre-K in Education Reform

On our February 2007 call, we discussed how high-quality pre-k fits within and strengthens broader efforts to improve the U.S. education system. Two members of the New Commission on the Skills of the American Workforce, Marc Tucker and Sharon Lynn Kagan, presented ideas and recommendations, including pre-k for all, from the Commission's "Tough Choices or Tough Times" report. The call was moderated by Wisconsin State Superintendent of Public Instruction Elizabeth Burmaster.
