Strategy Session XI: The Politics of Education Reform. Recorded at the 2016 National Summit on Education Reform on Friday, Dec. 2 in Washington, D.C.
This January, we welcome a new presidential administration into office—right as states gear up for a new era of state-led education policy under the Every Student Succeeds Act. This bipartisan panel of advocates will discuss the likely changes to the policy and political landscape across states and explore how policymakers, from both sides of the aisle, can cultivate the policy conditions, implementation support and education policy champions required for sustainable reform in a new political era.
Moderator: Andy Rotherham, Partner and Co-Founder, Bellwether Education Partners
Panelists:
— Shavar Jeffries, President, Democrats for Education Reform
— Myles Mendoza, Executive Director, One Chance Illinois
