Inside #CommonCore, How Social Media Is Changing the Politics of Education

This webinar is now on-demand! Watch the full event here.

Earlier this year, the study #CommonCore: How Social Media Is Changing the Politics of Education made a small splash in the education policymaking world. It details how Twitter has shaped the Common Core debate—and specifically, what sort of impact tweets containing #CommonCore has had. The findings suggest the debate over Common Core is less about the standards themselves and more about broader political disagreements over education policy.

Join NASBE on August 26, from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. EDT, for a webinar with the #CommonCore co-author Jonathan Supovitz, from the Consortium for Policy Research in Education (CPRE) to learn how he and colleagues Alan Daly and Miguel del Fresno came to this conclusion and what it means for education policymaking. Participants will leave with an understanding of the power that social media has over shaping public discourse on virtually any issue, with tips for leveraging tools like Twitter for effective messaging.
