Education Voters is excited to join the Mission Society’s Community Conversations in Education Project – Summit on Innovation in Education this Saturday. Please join us for a rich conversation featuring some of our city’s leading voices and minds in public education in a dialogue about the current state of our school system, promising educational innovations, and how we can work together to improve our educational landscape!
The Summit also gives us an opportunity to share with you the findings from Ed Voters’ latest report. Last summer we set out to capture what New Yorkers had to say about NYC’s public school system. This “Blueprint for Education Reform” synthesizes the hopes, fears, priorities, and recommendations of hundreds of ordinary New Yorkers from all five boroughs, from high school students to senior citizens, and offers policymakers , educators and community members alike a community-driven road map for reform.
