The Dropout Nation Podcast: Beyond Dropout Factories
On this week’s Dropout Nation Podcast, while profiling one of America’s worst school districts, I explain how the failures of every school district isn’t just a problem of teachers unions. School leadership at every level is critical in turning around dropout factories, the academic failure mills that feed into them, and the school districts that operate them all.
