 * A Nation at Risk: The Imperative For Educational Reform (30 year anniversary) **


 * A report written in 1983 for the National Commission on Excellence in Education. It is considered a landmark event in modern education. It was based on assertion that American schools were failing.
 * 30 years later, not only did it influence education as a whole at the time, but it re-invented the way we look at education now and influenced many only policies enforced over time.
 * Raised awareness on the dropping scores and led to more education funding.
 * "A Nation at Risk" spooked the public, urged an overhaul of how and what children are taught and sparked the school reform movement in the country. (Elliot)
