Andres Alonso Discusses the Leadership Institute for Superintendents and District Leaders

Andres Alonso, CEO of Baltimore City Schools, spoke and received his medal at the first of two master's degree ceremonies on Tuesday, May 17th. Alonso, who arrived in the United States at age 12 from Cuba, speaking no English, holds four Ivy League degrees. In his late 20s, he left a promising law career to teach in Newark, and eventually became deputy chancellor of New York City's public school system. Three years ago, he accepted the top schools post in Baltimore, where more than four-fifths of all students live in poverty and the school system has long been known as one of the nation?s most dysfunctional. Under his leadership, students across all categories have achieved their highest-ever outcomes on state exams, highest-ever graduation rate and lowest-ever dropout rates. Baltimore's dropout rate has fallen by half, and for the first time in decades, the city's public school system is gaining students instead of losing them.

Can schools be turned around, and can the system change? Yes, say an experienced district and state school leader in this panel discussion during the Driving Dramatic School Improvement conference at Stanford. Navigating questions by moderator Jordan Meranus, they talk about what they are doing in Louisiana and Baltimore to radically reform schools so that more children can meet state standards and receive an excellent education.  https://ssir.org/podcasts/entry/paul_pastorek_and_andres_alonso_-_education_tackling_the_turnaround_challen
