Education First Compact Monthly Speaker Series: Driving Toward Educational Equity, An Introduction to the Philadelphia School Board’s Goals and Guardrails Initiative

Would that deliver educational equity?
Two years ago, the Philadelphia Board of Education began consulting with education leaders across the country to explore this question. The answer, announced just last month, is Goals and Guardrails. The initiative has been described by former board member, Lee Huang, as both “obvious and revolutionary.” And, Superintendent Bill Hite called it a “game changer.”
