With all the buzz about the District Race to the Top and jockeying to fit it into differing agendas, you might miss its simple premise.

Like Peanut Butter and Chocolate, Digital Learning and Excellent Teachers Go Well Together

City-Based Strategies For Excellent Charter Schools
A number of forward looking cities have set aside contentious debates about charter schools, and have instead chosen to embrace high-quality charter schools in their reform strategies.

In contrast, of course, many conservatives want to leave education up to state legislators, on whose watch K-12 education has plateaued and declined.

Rick Hess was right to question the simplistic hyping of Khan Academy’s online video lectures. But we think he’s only got it half-right: it’s less a matter of OVER-hyping than MIS-hyping the true potential of what Khan is doing

Going Exponential: Growing the Charter Sector’s Best
The top 10 percent of charter schools in the U.S. serve 167,000 children annually. If just this elite subset of charter schools grew at the 40 percent rate we see in other sectors, they could serve some 26 million students every year by 2025. Even if only half of the nation’s best charter operators grew that quickly, they could collectively serve every low-income child in American in 15 years.
