Living Cities` Distinguished Urban Fellows Release Two Key Papers Addressing Education Reform & Homeless in America Reuters:
"In his paper, Peterson makes a strong case that the source of change in U.S. public education must be America`s mayors in partnership with philanthropists
and education entrepreneurs. He lauds the record of charter schools, plus the achievement of organizations such as Teach For America, which has brought
well-educated younger people eager to teach in today`s classrooms, especially in underachieving urban schools. The ultimate goal of entrepreneurs like Peterson
is to bring the innovation, urgency, flexibility and focus on educational outcomes that characterize charter schools and their allies to traditional
public schools."
