EdNext Podcast: What’s Behind Success at Success Academy

Robert Pondiscio, a senior fellow at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, joins EdNext Editor-in-chief Marty West to discuss his new book, “How the Other Half Learns,” and his observations of a Success Academy school at work in the Bronx.

Read an excerpt from the book, “Come to Jesus: Effort parties, data walls, reading logs, and “warm/strict” — a look inside Success Academy.”

The EdNext Podcast is available on iTunes, Google Play, Soundcloud, Stitcher and here every Wednesday.
