Stacey Childress of the Gates Foundation Monday said that we should not expect government and philanthropy to get it right and that clear metrics to measure performance and outcomes, including graduation rates, are needed to distinguish between schools and private enterprise. For-profit practitioners joined AEI’s Frederick Hess in a discussion on the role of private enterprise in public education. In addition, panelists considered Obama Administration’s approach as they look to 2013.
Additional speakers included Innosight Institute Co-founder Michael Horn; LearnZillion Co-Founder Eric Westendorf; Raquel Gilmer at Learn It Systems; and assistant deputy education secretary for innovation and improvement Jim Shelton.
