An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure: Identifying Schools in Early Distress Read More »
This February 14 convening highlights the genesis of Indicators of Distress, a tool charter school authorizers, board members, and school leaders use to proactively identify schools BEFORE they are considered "in need of improvement." Discuss the benefits and challenges of early identifications and what that means for charter autonomy.
Through candid discussions based on real experiences, participants at this April 3rd convening will reimagine what "Authorizer Support" and "Turn around" could look like in NEXT practices. Join school leaders, authorizers, and board members to uncover how schools can be supported and encouraged rather than regulated.
Gather with peer authorizers in person for interactive sessions that will challenge you to push the envelope on what it means to be a high-quality charter school authorizer today.
