[CharterSchools] Invite: Screening of Turnaround: The Reinvention of New Orleans' Public Education System

[charterschools at LACharter.org]

Below is information about a special showing of Turnaround hosted by GNO Inc and NCJW.  Please feel free to bring others, but just note that in your RSVP. 

 

In 2017, bestselling author David Osborne wrote Reinventing America's Schools: Creating a 21st Century Education System, where he profiled three cities:  New Orleans, Denver, and Washington, DC, as models of redesigned systems of public education.  He then decided to make a documentary and chose New Orleans as his focus: 


 

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana embarked on a total reinvention of New Orleans’ failing school system. Over the next decade, city and state leaders gradually converted the city’s public schools into charter schools, independent of district bureaucracy but accountable for their performance. They allowed families to choose almost any public school in the city.  When students thrived, leaders encouraged the school to expand and replicate; when students fell further behind grade level every year, leaders replaced the operator with a more successful charter network. The results - the most rapid academic improvement in the country - offer powerful lessons not only in education, but for systems change, in general.
