Awesome! I really look forward to it. Anything you have that’s data driven is of the highest interest to me.

I hope to have more Econ stuff for you soon!

I will have to ask how much I can share. Over all they are both yielding positive results. There are nuances for each that I would love to share as well to provide more context. I will definitely post more once they give me the green light. On another note, thanks for the Econ insight.

This is really interesting. Can you share some of your findings? Did the techniques improve performance?

I really liked this post. It hints at a larger issue that I think comes up a lot in development related work (definitely came up for me in the Peace Corps); what role can an outsider play in really helping a community that they don’t have a background in? Some say we should have no role because we cannot ever understand something we have not lived our whole life, but I think that view is neither true nor helpful. It ignores the human ability to learn, to empathize (not sympathize), and stand in solidarity. By sharing your story, you and other EdPioneers are helping to make the issues you learned about more real to those of us who know you but have not worked in the places you have. Thank you!

Nuria, you are totally right. It should be “Think” instead of “Teach.” Thanks for pointing that out!

Interesting observations Lydia, and I think your point #3 is particularly well taken. There’s a real danger that “charter schools” will become a generic brand, and one that some folks are hoping to taint. The reality is that a charter is an organizing, small-c constitutional document, and as you rightly note, there is great diversity in how charter schools decide to organize and constitute themselves. Thanks for sharing your experience at NewSchools — makes for interesting reading!
