Committee of 10 Strikes Again!

Someone in the webinar I was doing today asked me to elaborate on the Committee of 10 that I mentioned in my presentation. Actually, she asked what we could do to influence the Committee of 10. When I made sure that she understood that the members of the Committee of 10 are all dead, I realized that she was asking a really important not-so-rhetorical question. When you stop and think about the fact that so much of the structure of the American high school is still in place from their work, it does make one stop to think: how can we influence the impact that the Committee of 10 still has?
