Participate
On January 28, 2009, Education Sector hosted a special evening reception, book signing, and discussion featuring Washington Post columnist Jay Mathews, author of the book Work Hard. Be Nice.: How Two Inspired Teachers Created the Most Promising Schools in America (Algonquin Books).
Work Hard. Be Nice. chronicles the founding of the Knowledge Is Power Program (KIPP). Now serving over 16,000 students in 66 schools across the country, KIPP has a strong presence in school reform. How has KIPP influenced school improvement? And what does the KIPP model mean for education reform debates and politics today?
Mathews was joined by Richard Barth, CEO of the KIPP Foundation and Jonah Edelman, executive director of Stand for Children, an advocacy group focusing on public education reform for the discussion. Education Sector's Andrew Rotherham served as moderator.
