Mark your calendars. November 18-22, 2013, is American Education Week. Created (in part) by the National Education Association in 1921 it “presents all Americans with a wonderful opportunity to celebrate public education and honor individuals who are making a difference in ensuring that every child receives a quality education.”
In celebration and reflection of 2013 American Education Week, The White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans (WHIEEAA) will be hosting a series of Twitter roundtables on several important topics. The WHIEEAA works on important education issues impacting African Americans and they are inviting everyone to join the discussion, 12-1pm EST. The hashtag #AfAmEdchat will be used for each of the daily discussions.
