Education Reform's Common Ground

6.21.2016

Education reformers have taken to the blogosphere and social media to debate the tensions inherent in an ideologically diverse movement. Much of the discussion has focused on our differences; what's been overshadowed is what we still have in common. 
 
The Thomas B. Fordham Institute, 50CAN, and Education Post hosted a timely and vital conversation on June 20, 2016 about the policy agenda that ties reformers together across the ideological spectrum.
