Achieving a New State: A Look at State Turnaround Districts

About

More places are experimenting with state-run initiatives to address chronically low-performing public schools.

Observers also comment on the Louisiana Recovery School District and the Michigan Education Achievement Authority. How well are their strategies working?

Moderator: John Merrow, Learning Matters Speakers: Chris Barbic, Achievement School District of Tennessee; Andre Perry, Davenport University; Dan Varner, Excellent Schools Detroit
