Category
Panel
Description
Changes in education systems around the world require research and verification from reliable sources. Such research findings are documented and posted weekly to the AACRAO EDGE. But descriptive changes are only the tip of the iceberg. The AACRAO International Education Standards Council (IESC) debates and crafts placement recommendations, grading scale conversion, and educational ladders for inclusion in EDGE. The panel will discuss updates and changes to EDGE in 2018.
