Authorizing: A Radical Idea Thirty Years Out
Description:
Thirty years ago, a radical idea took root that you’ve likely given little thought. While charter schools have transformed the education landscape, the underlying idea is even more revolutionary. Authorizing, the principle of autonomy over operations in exchange for accountability for outcomes, is a powerful lever for driving educational innovation while protecting the public interest. This session will dive deep into the principles of authorizing and what it can say for education at large.
