Dr. Diane Hirshberg on challenges to the nation’s education system

How will the Biden administration tackle issues facing education? Dr. Diane Hirshberg, professor of education policy at ISER, provides some insight into the nation’s challenges and possible solutions. 

In “How US Education Secretary nominee Miguel Cardona can stop the teacher shortage,” published in The Conversation, Hirshberg and three other experts provide specific advice on how to recruit and retain more educators in public schools.  

On Monday, February 22 from 12-1 pm, Hirshberg will speak about “Likely and Needed Changes in Federal Education Policies” during a panel discussion on the policy, economic and social implications of the Biden/Harris Administration. The discussion is hosted by the College of Business and Public Policy MPA/MPP Department. For a Zoom link, email CGupta@alaska.edu.
