Dream Tour and Educational Forum 2009

Listening to America is a series of Educational Forums which are extensions of The DREAM Tour sponsored by ExxonMobil. Host Dr. Bernard Harris, Jr. brings together key local education decision makers, elected officials, parents, teachers, and civic leaders to engage in a discussion around STEM education and the need for more middle school students to pursue math and science careers in the United States. Each city provides their unique perspective on the barriers to success and also offers their own strategies for raising achievement, helping to create a clear picture of the national landscape. The forums expand the impact of The Dream Tour beyond the students at the schools visited by fostering a dialogue with STEM career-oriented individuals who care deeply about the future of our nation and its children. This video combines highlights from both The Dream Tour and the Educational Forum in the 2009 year.
