 The Center for Education Reform
is celebrating its 10th Anniversary with
a Gala Dinner and
Conference this Wednesday and Thursday, October
29-30, including performances by CER's "Be True
to Your School" contest winners from Autism
Academy of Learning, Maumee, OH, and KIPP
Academy, Bronx, NY, and much, much more.
STATE OF THE SCHOOLS: "If we allow the guardians of the educational status quo to have their way, we will continue to fall behind," Secretary of Education Rod Paige warns in his Back-to-School address, calling for an end to complacency toward the education crisis in America. Link to full address.
CHARTER SCHOOLS -- A STUDY IN SUCCESS: What the research reveals is: charter schools work. Major studies consistently show that charters enrich the educational scene and offer excellent educational opportunities for thousands of children in hundreds of communities.
RERUN: It's that time again -- the release of the annual Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup poll. Not surprisingly, its results need further probing to discover what they really say about public opinion on education. Get CER's further analysis right here. UNDER PRESSURE: A new study by the Manhattan Institute of Florida's A+ Program, which offers school choice to students in chronically failing schools, shows that the closer a school comes to having to offer vouchers, the greater its academic improvements.
