Washington, DC (PRWEB) July 13, 2014
The PreK-12 Learning Group of the Association of American Publishers (AAP) is launching its first Fall Policy Exchange, a daylong conference offering insights into critical preK-12 education issues – standards, alignment, and student data privacy – for professionals across the learning resource industry.
The new event will be held Thursday, September 11 in Washington, DC.
Developers of instructional materials have a lot to navigate said Jay Diskey, executive director of the PreK-12 Learning Group. Because of the complex and ever-changing developments in politics, we will focus on key issues led by experts to help industry professionals manage their long-term strategies with greater discernment and efficiency.
Important takeaways for attendees include business strategies to deal with the fluctuations in school policy, content strategies focusing on student achievement over local politics, and development strategies to ensure data-driven results without compromised privacy.
Nathan Gonzales, deputy editor of The Rothenberg Report will be the keynote speaker and will provide insights on the mid-term elections.
Other speakers and moderators include Ezra Dodd Church of Morgan Lewis, Maria Fergusun of The Center for Education Policy at George Washington University, Aimee Rogstad Guidera of Data Quality Campaign, and Mark Schneiderman of The Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA).
Sessions include Navigating the Student Data Privacy Jungle, Common Core Implementation: Whats the Future of the Core? and Redefining the Student Data Privacy Conversation.
The event will be held at the Capital Hilton in downtown Washington, DC from 8:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Registration and breakfast start at 7:30 a.m. Those interested in attending can register online at http://www.AEPweb.org.
