What should we be measuring now to understand the long-term impact of charter schools? Join Dr. Christina Grant of Harvard’s Center for Education Policy Research (CEPR) and Darryl Cobb, President of the Charter School Growth Fund, for a forward-looking conversation on the research agenda the field needs next. At a moment of key decisions on growth, funding, and strategy, this session will connect evidence to the questions leaders are actively grappling with. Designed for funders, CMOs, and education leaders, this session will also invite perspectives from the room to help shape future Harvard's research on charters. Together, we’ll surface the questions that should guide the next decade and explore how research, resources, and real-world outcomes can better align. Sponsored by the Walton Family Foundation.
