What Parents Want to Know About School Choice: Tips for Reporters
At EWA's 66th National Seminar, held at Stanford last month, we examined the challenge of how reporters can best evaluate charter school research in a session moderated by the Huffington Post's Joy Resmovits. We asked some of the education reporters attending the seminar to contribute blog posts from the sessions. Today's guest blogger is Kara Newhouse of the Perry County (Penn.) Times . The full podcast of the session can be found here. Stream any session from National Seminar in your browser, or subscribe via RSS or iTunes.
“Whether people like or choice or don’t like choice, it’s a reality,” said Gail Robinson of Inside Schools as she opened an EWA session on how reporters can assess schools' efforts to inform parents about public school choice options.
