Join a panel of spectacular speakers on March 24 for "An Army of Great Teachers?" The discussion will take place from 3:30-5:00 pm at the American Enterprise Institute and contemplate how to replicate the overworked and overdedicated teachers found at charter powerhouses KIPP and Achievement First, for example. Can we find enough such superheroes to fill a thousand more high performing charter schools serving poor kids? Or do we need to change the model so that mere mortals can teach in these schools? Norman Atkins (founder and CEO of Teacher U at Hunter College), Kaya Henderson (deputy chancellor for human capital and community relations for the District of Columbia Public Schools), Katherine Merseth (professor at Harvard University and author of Inside Urban Charter Schools), and Steven F. Wilson (founder and CEO of Ascend Learning Inc. and author of the article discussed above) will discuss. Find more information and RSVP here.
