A Serious Outside Look At Reality
NY Post's David Andreatta reports that long-anticipated plans to create a consortium of somewhat independent researchers are moving forward. The Research Partnership for NYC Schools would have access to all sorts of performance data so they could take a bona fide stab at looking at the impact of various important reforms.
It almost sounds like NYC may someday embrace public education, except even this plan is too heavy on the gate-keeper role for the city, which has historically been more interested in spin than in honestly measuring impact.
Chicago has something similar. Perhaps Alexander Russo can shed some light on the value (or lack thereof) such a consortium can bring to policy discussions.
