<P>TOPIC: 50 YEARS AFTER SPUTNIK: Another education revolution? What can we do
here in Moscow?</P>
<P>MONDAY, November 19, 2007, NOON TO 1 PM</P>
<P>UNIVERSITY INN/BEST WESTERN CENTENNIAL ROOM, NO HOST</P>
<P>For information or to RSVP to save a chair, call Linda Pall, 882-7255</P>
<P> </P>
<P>The monthly Community Conversation series that began in June, 2006, with
the discussion of the living wage and included topics such as downtown
development, diversity in Moscow, growth decisions, town and gown relations,
housing, and what’s great about Moscow CONTINUES!!!</P>
<P>This time the topic is education in Moscow. Fifty years ago, the USA got a
shock to its system by the Soviets beating us to orbiting the planet. One of the
responses was a revolution in education, extending science and mathematics and
getting people serious about quality education throughout the system. What can
we do now to renew that competitive edge and make the most of our educational
resources? Can Moscow learn from Pullman? Are there models of high schools,
magnet schools, new kinds of schools that can help our students get the most and
the best from their education?</P>
<P>Bring your ideas, observations and opinions to test-drive Monday, November
19. Please note that this is the THIRD Monday, not the customary second Monday
for this luncheon meeting, because of Veterans Day holiday observances November
12. Linda Pall, Moscow City Council member, will convene the conversation
and look to you for your continued participation in this
dialogue!</P></FONT></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
