Blogs

Our team blogs regularly on a broad range of topics related to education reform and provides a blend of leading-edge perspectives. One of Bellwether’s greatest strengths is that diversity of viewpoint is encouraged among the partner team and throughout the organization. Everyone at Bellwether is committed to dramatic improvements in our public education system, but internally there are different views about how to accomplish that work. As a result, the views expressed in these blogs should be considered to be those of the writers rather than organizational viewpoints of Bellwether or of any organizations or individuals with whom Bellwether works. Likewise, outgoing links do not constitute any type of endorsement of other websites or organizations.

Some interesting points of agreement and disagreement.

Below is a discussion John Bailey and I will do on Clubhouse next week. 

At the World Education Summit in March, I’m participating in two sessions. In one, Jeb Bush, John King, and I will discuss the politics and policy of building back better. And in a different keynote session Baltimore’s Sonja Santelises and Philadelphia’s Bill Hite and I will discuss the policy and practice implications of building back better post-Covid with education entrepreneur Mark Vineis.
