Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE. Tony Wagner, co-director of the Change Leadership Group at the Harvard Graduate School of Education (and adviser to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation) conducted scores of interviews with business leaders and observed hundreds of classes in some of the nation's most highly regarded public schools in researching his book, The Global Achievement Gap: Why Even Our Best Schools Don't Teach the New Survival Skills—and What We Can Do About It (Perseus). He's here this evening with a critique of 'No Child Left Behind' and other strategies that have replaced the critical thinking and problem-solving skills students need to enter the workforce in a global economy. $5 tickets are available via www.brownpapertickets.com., 1-800-838-3006, or at the door starting at 6:30 p.m. Town Hall members receive seating priority.
