117. How can parents make the right choice for their child’s education? with GreatSchools.org CEO Jon Deane
For years, parents and community leaders relied on standardized test scores and socioeconomic status to determine the quality of a school. But parents – and teachers in the classrooms – have long known those limited factors only tell part of the story. With an increasing number of school options and data available to families across the U.S., parents are faced with a seemingly endless amount of information when it comes to evaluating what could be right for their child. What should parents look for when weighing education options for their students? How can community leaders use that data to replicate success? And how can we understand which school options are going to help all children succeed? In this episode, Jon Deane joins Kevin to discuss how parents can make the right choice for their child’s education.
