What is Innovation? As Ted Kolderie puts it, innovation is letting people try new things, without having to prove it already works. In other words, without permission. 

Permissionless.

The parents frustrated by system dysfunction today know that they should not have to ask for permission when seeking a quality education for their children. Innovative leaders recognize that today, “school is coming to kids.” Personalized learning opportunities are not only desired, they’re demanded. 

In honor of the 30th Anniversary of the Charter School movement, join us with Ted and several charter innovators to discuss – Does chartering have a future? Who does it benefit? And how can parents, advocates, policymakers and school leaders use charter schools to personalize learning?  

WHO:

and FEATURING:  The Godfather of Chartering, Ted Kolderie

With gratitude to the National Charter Schools Founders Library for sparking the idea of celebrating the 30th Anniversary of charter schooling in America.
