Episode 1: Dr. Jim Goenner

From the role of charter school “authorizers”; to why charter schools are so often misunderstood; to why there is no “one-size fits all” model for charters; Jim Goenner delves deeply into the question of why charters schools work on this Episode 52 of Reality Check with Jeanne Allen. “As a strategy to improve public education, chartering is working phenomenally well,” says Goenner.  “Why did charter schools take off? Number one there was just a pent up demand and need. Number two it’s a great idea!”  Listen in to this edition of Reality Check, to get the real scoop about the critical role of charter schools in driving innovation in public education in America.
