Great Schools: How to Know One When You See It
Opinions on the qualities of effective schools abound, but the best schools have some characteristics in common. In this talk, the dean of Stanford’s School of Education discusses research on great schools and suggests questions to ask and things to look for on a school visit. She will comment as well on how the “No Child Left Behind” Act is and is not helping us increase the quality of public schooling.
