Bill Evers, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution and a member of the Institution’s Koret Task Force on K–12 Education who specializes in research on education policy, especially as it pertains to curriculum, teaching, testing, accountability, and school finance from kindergarten through high school, discusses media coverage of education issues. Evers notes there was plenty of coverage of teachers’ unions and charter schools but little coverage of curriculum changes, especially “common core” standards.

The K–12 Education Task Force focuses on education policy as it relates to government provision and oversight versus private solutions (both within and outside the public school system) that stress choice, accountability, and transparency; that include systematic reform options such as vouchers, charter schools, and testing; and that weigh equity concerns against outcome objectives.

Its collaborative efforts spawned a quarterly journal titled Education Next, one of the premier publications on public education research policy in the nation.

Chester E. Finn, Jr. serves as chair of the Task Force on K–12 education.
