Welcome to our #AskExcelinEd series on the National Summit on Education Reform (#EIE19)! Follow along for sneak peeks at the can’t-miss conversations we have planned for #EIE19 taking place in San Diego, CA November 20-21.
Today, Cara Candal, ExcelinEd’s Director of Educational Opportunity, and Sam Duell, ExcelinEd’s Charter Schools Policy Director, highlight two strategy sessions covering how states have established high-quality private education choice, as well as how charter schools are developing great teachers. Enjoy!
2019 was an exciting year for private school choice. Some states improved or expanded existing private school choice programs and others passed new laws that will allow families to create high-quality, customized educational experiences for their children.
How do you know when your state is ready to establish high-quality private education choice? Explore how to assess community needs, customize solutions, cultivate political interest in matching solutions to needs—and get private school choice done right. Find out how states have established and grown private school choice programs, with the lessons policymakers and advocates learned along the way.
Experts from three different states will describe the local conditions that enabled private school choice in their communities and explain what makes high-quality programming and what to consider in implementation. This panel is a must for policymakers and others who are interested in growing and expanding equitable and accessible private school choice programs in their states.
To address gaps in teaching talent, some public charter schools are supporting teacher recruitment and development by creating independent graduate schools of education. Explore how state-level policies can support charter schools in this effort and how independent graduate school leaders are expanding the pool of high-quality educators in their states.
Keep an eye on our #EIE19 Agenda in the coming weeks for complete details on panelists and sessions. See you in San Diego in November!
