This is the third and last in a series of audio reportbacks from the summit. The report focuses on the other side. The corporate-based "education reform movement" — what it is, what it's goals are, and what we can do to affect it.
The Community-wide Summit for Educational Change, which took place on March 11th and 12th, was a culmination of over a year of organizing. Many of the groups who put on the summit, had already spent months fighting successfully to stop mayoral control of the Rochester City School District. After that battle was finished, they expanded their efforts to create an "inclusive, collaborative, real education reform effort in the Rochester City School District."
