12:00-1:00 pm Eastern: Results of this year's Maryland School Assessments show statewide improvement in student performance. The National Assessment of Educational Progress, however, doesn't think Maryland students have advanced.  What's the real story?  We’ll talk with Superintendent of Schools Nancy Grasmick about the state of education in Maryland and in the Baltimore public schools.
 
1:00-2:00 pm: Slate columnist and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Fred Kaplan says we wouldn't be where we are today if it hadn't been for one pivotal year -- a year that gave us the microchip, the birth-control pill and Motown. Kaplan joins us to talk about about 1959: The Year Everything Changed.
