Teaser on Charter School Report
This short post is a teaser about a charter school study I am currently working on that examines student disappearance rates, ability levels of students entering charter schools, and the ability level of students leaving charter schools. This teaser post focuses on Harmony Schools in Texas run by the Cosmos Foundation. Recent attention has been focused on the schools’ ties with the Gulen movement in Turkey and the use of H1B visas to replace American teachers with Turkish teachers. While I am interested in those issues, I focus on student mobility patterns and student achievement related to those patterns.
This study was funded by the Texas Business and Education Coalition (www.tbec.org) , an independent organization focused on improving school outcomes for all students.
