Charter School Conference

Posted: September 25th, 2012 | Author: | | No Comments »

If you know someone who wants to learn the basics of high-performing charter schools, send them the link to this Harvard conference in November.

Develop the strategies and perspectives necessary to create high-performing learning organizations. Work with Harvard faculty and leading charter colleagues from across the country to examine charter school challenges, confront long-held beliefs and solve difficult problems of practice.

It’s run by Kay Merseth, who wrote this book.

Dana Lehman, an ace, will teach about curriculum planning.

My colleague Orin will lead a session about the Knicks’ misguided approach to pursuing an NBA title teacher hiring.
