Caught in the Trough of Education Reform
Ever been advocating positions too futuristic for today only to find yourself labeled a luddite after an organizational leadership change? Dan speaks to this experience, and what can be learned from it, with both humor and grave seriousness. He draws on his experience being labelled both a "great reformer" and "part of the old guard" in DC Public Schools as it transitioned to control under Michelle Rhee and the State of NJ operation of Newark Public Schools before and after Cami Anderson.
