Overview
The Aspen Education Program seeks funding to continue facilitating and supporting its related Urban Superintendents and Chief Academic Officers leadership networks. The proposed work would help superintendents, chief academic officers, and chief financial officers learn from each other, from experts in the field, and from case studies and cross-district analyses illustrating examples and practices that can guide rapid, specific reforms at home. The Institute will continue its focus on resource allocation and alignment, strengthening districts’ abilities to develop the strategies and support systems they need for sustained, effective teaching and learning, particularly given the new challenges of implementing Common Core standards.
