K-12 education in the United States continually lags behind the rest of the world. But why it is that? Is it a lack of funding or the structure of our education system that is to blame?   Jeff Huston will explain how the application of systems theory in K-12 education could be the cure to these problems.

Jeffery Huston is a Senior Lecturer at Kent State University. He serves the University as both the undergraduate and graduate Athletic Training Program coordinator. He earned his bachelors in both Biology and Sports Medicine from Heidelberg University, a masters degree in Athletic Training from West Virginia University, and is currently finishing a Doctorate of Education with a specialization in educational leadership and management from Capella University. He has a vested interested in K-12 education as his wife, Michelle, is a teacher and they have three boys 9, 6, and 5 who are in school.
