Editor’s note: On November 2, 2016, the Johns Hopkins Institute for Education Policy hosted a discussion on the successes, challenges, and future of charter schools. The talk featured Chester E. Finn, Jr., Distinguished Senior Fellow and President Emeritus of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute; Dr. Lauren Wells, Professorial Lecturer at the American University School of Education; and Dr. David Steiner, Executive Director of the Johns Hopkins Institute for Education Policy. It was sponsored by the Achelis & Bodman Foundation, and anchored in the recent book Charter Schools at the Crossroads: Predicaments, Paradoxes, Possibilities, by Chester Finn, Bruno Manno, and Brandon Wright. This is a video of that conversation.
