OVERVIEW
American education is in disarray. Philanthropists are trying to change that by pouring billions of dollars into reforming our schools, yet all too often those same schools churn out graduates whose “education” makes them the laughingstock of the developed world.
Clearly, philanthropists aren’t getting bang for their educational buck. This raises a pressing question: How can charitable support best be targeted to whip our educational system into shape?
As someone who cares about education reform, you don’t want to see philanthropic dollars thrown at “solutions” that benefit no one. The stakes are too high for sloppiness. So why not listen to some wisdom from the front lines? In this webinar, you’ll hear from three experts who have spent decades in the education reform trenches—and they’re eager to share their hard-won knowledge with you.
