A New Strategy to Increase Student Achievement
A new strategy to increase student achievement in our public schools, portfolio management, has gained traction in several urban school districts. With this approach, local school boards oversee a variety of autonomous school operators to meet the diverse needs and interest of students in the community. On this week’s Independent Thinking, guest host Pam Benigno leads a discussion on the topic of school district portfolio management with special guests Dr. Paul Hill, director of the University of Washington’s Center on Reinventing Public Education, and Jim Weigel, a former school board member and consultant for the Colorado Association of School Boards. Check it out tonight at 8:30 PM on KBDI Channel 12. Re-broadcast the following Monday at 1:30 PM.
