Come learn more at Fordham on January 28, 2010 from 2pm-3:30pm. “School Turnarounds: Exciting and Felicitous or Expensive and Futile?” will feature the authors of opposing Education Next articles, Bryan Hassel and Andy Smarick, and two discussants, Andrés Alonso, CEO of Baltimore City Public Schools, and Emily Lawson of the DC Prep charter network. For advance homework, read Hassel’s “The Big U-Turn” and Smarick’s “The Turnaround Fallacy.” RSVP to Amy Fagan at [email protected].
