This issue working group addresses how to improve public understanding of the value of public education in a democracy, the realities of its present condition, and how to strengthen public education rather than dismantling it.

Members of the Public Education working group exchange ideas and information about:

  • How public opinion regarding this issue is formed and how you think it should be influenced in order to advance progressive views on the issue,
  • Marketing and communications strategy related to this issue,
  • Barriers to communicating about this issue,
  • Coordination needs,
  • Resources of which you are aware, etc.

If Public Education is your primary issue area, you will have the opportunity to work with other members of your group on specific plans for promoting public education during the March 2006 Progressive Roundtable convening.
