RAS Webinar: Now What? Historically Underperforming PISA Scores are a Call to Action

  • February 1, 2024 - 1:00 pm ET

Released in December, the 2022 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) exam scores were more-than disappointing. They follow those from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) which showed that two-thirds of American children are not proficient in reading. The PISA exam, which focused on math, showed an unprecedented drop in math scores from 2018 to 2022, which is three times worse than any other year. American students’ math scores showed students dropped 13 points, which is the equivalent of two-thirds of a year of learning. Only 7% of U.S. students can do advanced math, and affluence is no guarantee of student performance. Wealthier U.S. students were outscored by average-performing students in Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong, and our students who participated in the 2022 PISA were among the nation’s most advantaged.

Join PPI’s Reinventing America’s Schools Project for a webinar that will review the underperforming scores and dissect the data that should guide the nation on how to reverse this terrible trend. We are honored to present the foremost PISA and education assessment experts on our panel:

Our expert panelists include:

  • Dr. Peggy G. Carr, Commissioner of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in the Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education.
  • Andreas Schleicher, Director of the Directorate of Education and Skills at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
  • Jonathan A. Supovitz, Professor Policy, Organizations, Leadership, and Systems Division At University of Pennsylvania, Graduate School of Education; Director, Consortium for Policy Research in Education

 

Moderator: Tressa Pankovits, Co-Director of Reinventing America’s Schools, PPI

Join us for an engaging conversation that will put our PISA outcomes into perspective and offer answers to the inevitable, “Now what?” moment of reckoning.

This webinar is in partnership with The 74.
