Cannata Leads Online Chat as Conference Follow-up
LSI News
Marisa Cannata, Associate Director National Center on School Choice (NCSC), recently held an online chat seminar as follow-up to the 2nd Annual NCSC Conference, "School Choice and School Improvement: Research in State, District, and Community Contexts". The online chat enabled conference participants and those unable to attend the conference to revisit key themes from the conference. The discussion included topics such as how parents choose schools, differences in parent participation in school choice, school choice and segregation, competition effects, the importance of context in achievement studies, and how to make sense of conflicting studies on school choice. Education Week acted as host for the presentation. Cannata served as moderator.
A panel of distinguished educators participated in the discussion, including David Figlio, Orrington Lunt Professor of Education, Social Policy and Economics at Northwestern University and National Bureau of Economic Research research associate; Helen F. Ladd, Edgar Thompson Professor of Public Policy Studies and professor of economics at Duke University; and Kristie J. R. Phillips, assistant professor of sociology at Brigham Young University. For more information and to review a copy of the transcript please see Education Week. Complete video and presentations from the conference can be found on the conference website.
