[YEP-DC] Event Announcement: School Choice - Encouraging New and Better Schools

School choice: Encouraging new and better schools Thursday, January 30, 2014 | 8:45 a.m. – 2:50 p.m.   Private school choice programs have had a limited effect on the American education landscape. While voucher, tuition tax credit, and education savings-account programs have been successful in filling excess capacity in existing private schools, they have not led to widespread scaling of high-quality school models or to the creation of new, high-quality schools. Why has this happened? How can the market be structured to better encourage a vibrant supply-side response? As a part of National School Choice Week, this conference will offer one of the most in-depth and serious looks at how school choice works and in what capacities. We will convene leading education thinkers and practitioners to discuss a series of new papers and to explore how policy, practice, and research can better facilitate and support vibrant school choice marketplaces. Details Thursday, January 30, 2014 | 8:45 a.m. – 2:50 p.m. Lunch will be served.
