Week Six Theme: Rebuilding Public Education
In this week, we take a comprehensive view of the cradle-to-college pipeline and look beyond the 2020 election to ask how we build more integrated and equitable public schools and best prepare our children for careers and as citizens in a rapidly changing world.
With a growing shortage of credentialed teachers, how do we recruit and keep the next generation of educators?
How do we navigate what has become one of the most contentious debates in education today and evaluate the impact of charter schools and vouchers in American communities?
What does the recent college admissions cheating scandal tell us about how parents, students, and society-at-large view the purpose of secondary education?
