LIASCD cordially invites you to our annual spring networking event this Thursday, May 16, 2013

at the Melville Marriott (4:30 PM – 6:30 PM).

This year attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a collegial discussion facilitated by Dr. Jonah Rockoff - Working to Make Sense of Growth Models.

Presently the New York State Board of Regents is considering additional factors to be included in the proposed value-added model.  The Board of Regents will be finalizing the model at their June meeting.

Jonah Rockoff is presently an Associate Professor of Business at the Columbia Graduate School of Business, a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and a member of the New York State Board of Regents' Technical Advisory Group.  Dr. Rockoff is one of the few people who truly understands growth and value added models and their implications for educators.

We look forward to you participation in this informative event, as it represents a  wonderful opportunity for Long Island educators to get an introductory understanding of  potential changes.

Please put "Spring Social" in the subject heading. There is NO COST to attend this event.
