Annette Kirk and A Nation at Risk

Annette Kirk was a member of the National Commission on Excellence in Education, 1981–1983. You can learn more about her part and her perspective here: “First Principles: Remedy for a Nation at Risk,” from the Winter 1993 University Bookman. This two-part video contains material relating to the report of the commission entitled A Nation at Risk.

The link to the text of the full report is available here.
