SELLEST OSAST
We're joined today by Harvard's Jal Mehta and Radford's Max Yurkovsky to discuss their new book, A Chance to Solve Their Own Problems: Inside the New Methods to Remake Public Schools.
Their project was motivated by a fascinating question: Why do reforms sometimes work?
The resulting book splits the difference between "improvement is impossible" and "improvement is easy if you just use this one neat trick." It's a fascinating conversation with a lot for school leaders to chew on.
Links to other works we discuss (or are operating in the background):
