On Friday, December 11th, a group of about 25 CASE members joined a live webcast with Dr. Yong Zhao to discuss the book. Dr. Zhao used his webcam to dial into our webcast from Beijing, China. It was Saturday morning for him while were getting ready to head to dinner Friday night. In this recording, the video from Dr. Zhao's webcam did not come through but an audio recording of his talk with us is captured here.

Dr. Zhao made a convincing case for individualizing our learning experiences, assuring quality opportunity for students and expecting personal responsibility in our students rather than obsessing on raising test scores.
In short, it sounded like Dr. Zhao was encouraging our American schools to be more... American.
Come hear more by attending the CASE Winter Leadership conference and hear Dr. Zhao in person on January 22nd, 2010.
