RAS REPORTS: Celebrating National School Choice Week! - a podcast by PPI

In this week's episode of RAS Reports, Curtis Valentine and Tressa Pankovits, Co-Directors of PPI's Reinventing America's Schools Project, celebrate National School Choice Week by discussing new developments in the movement to provide access to affordable, quality education to all of America's youth. The hosts highlight Innovation Schools in Indianapolis, IN which serve as a prime example of the benefits of granting schools the flexibility to make decisions tailored to the specific needs of their student body. Curtis and Tressa discuss how these "schools of choice" attract high-quality teachers, produce higher learning outcomes, and gives parents more power to decide what educational environment is best for their student. 

The National School Choice Week celebration continues Thursday, January 27 at 3:00PM ET with a panel of teachers who work in "schools of choice." Hear in their own words how their decision to work in these schools has positively impacted their passion for the work, their students and their overall job satisfaction.
