Frederick Hess launched his new book, The Great School Rethink (Harvard Education Press, 2023) this month, and he kicked things off with a panel discussion featuring our very own Kathleen Porter-Magee, along with Ian Rowe (AEI), Cade Brumley (Louisiana State Superintendent of Education), and Christina Grant (DC Superintendent of Education).

“Dr. Hess discussed how the pandemic was a moment of “punctuated equilibrium” that offered a chance to rethink long-held assumptions and practices in education,” Greg Fournier wrote. During their talk, the group focused on how we can particularly change up schooling within the areas of time, teaching, technology, school choice, and schools’ partnerships with parents.
