LIVE Webcast: Are Bad Schools Immortal?

2.2.2011

If you've been affected by the weather today, please join the Fordham Institute online today at 3:30pm for a a lively and provocative debate about our latest report, Are Bad Schools Immortal?

Joining us in this debate will be:

Jeanne Allen, President of The Center for Education Reform

Justin Cohen, President of the School Turnaround Group, Mass Insight Education

David Stuit, Author of Are Bad Schools Immortal?

Elaine Weiss*, National Coordinator, Broader Bolder Approach to Education

*Diane Ravitch can longer join us today due to inclement weather

Are Bad Schools Immortal? is our latest report that tracked about 2,000 low-performing schools and found that the vast majority of them remained open and remained low-performing after five years. Very few were significantly improved.

We hope you'll join us online!
