In the new book The Urban School System of the Future, Andy Smarick argues that the traditional urban school district is irreparably broken, and that for the sake of today's and tomorrow's inner-city students, it must be replaced. Vastly better results can be realized through the creation of a new type of organization that properly manages a city's portfolio of schools using the revolutionary principles of chartering. The Urban School System of the Future explains an idea that is simultaneously revolutionary, yet feasible—how we can finally create dynamic, responsive, high-performing, self-improving urban school systems that fulfill the promise of public education.
Bellwether Education Partners invites you to join us for a spirited discussion of these ideas, featuring a diverse panel of dynamic state and district leaders who represent the leading thinking and efforts around transforming urban public education.
Space is limited, so register now to join us on Tuesday, January 29th from 3pm – 6pm at Busboys & Poets! A light reception will follow the panel discussion. Please click here to register.
