Hoover Fellow Joins Team to Manage Post-War Education
Ohanian Comment: What the article fails to mention is that during the math wars, at a public demonstration Evers flushed the California math standards--the ones that followed NCTM guidelines--down a toilet.
The Iraq Coalition Provisional Authority recently announced that Hoover Fellow Williamson Evers has been designated as a senior adviser to the Iraqi Ministry of Education to assist with interim management, according to a Hoover Institution press release issued yesterday.
The education ministry is in charge of running Iraq’s elementary and secondary schools, including providing facilities with necessary supplies and analyzing academic performance.
“My interest in the modern Middle East goes back to a course I took as an Stanford undergraduate, taught by two curators of Hoover’s Middle East collection, Michel Nabti and the late George Rentz,” said Evers, who is currently on leave from Hoover for his work in Iraq.
The press release also stated that Evers is a member of Hoover’s Koret Task Force on K-12 Education. He served as a policy adviser to President George W. Bush on education during the 2000 presidential campaign. His past research efforts have focused on education policy — particularly curriculum, teaching, testing and accountability in elementary and secondary schools.
