alpha authorizing- dr. james goenner, national charter schools institute (nacsa conference 2012)
DESCRIPTION
At the beginning of the charter movement, little attention was given to the organizations authorized to charter, oversee and hold schools accountable. Now, we realize authorizers matter. Join this thought-provoking session and learn how alpha authorizers can strengthen the movement and help transition America into an educational marketplace that fosters academic excellence for all children.TRANSCRIPT

5
People need compelling reasons and opportunities to take on the challenges associated with
fundamental change.
When people decide to change because it’s in their own interest, it is more likely to be meaningful and
lasting.
