Experts and policymakers analyze nationwide education trends, noting significant NAEP gains in math and graduation rates alongside persistent achievement gaps and international competitiveness concerns. The discussion highlights specific reform strategies implemented by leaders like John Daisy in LA and Dr. Rudy Crew in NYC and Miami, which utilized charter expansion, restorative justice, and performance-based teacher systems to drive student outcomes. Participants conclude with a consensus that federal policy must shift from funding complex grants to enforcing rigorous standards, while business leaders are urged to demand systemic changes and apply private-sector evaluation models to public education.

Big City Education: We Know What Works, So Why Don't We Do It?
Ed Rendell, Paul Vallis, Antonio Villaraigosa, Tony Miller, Rudy Crew, Lowell
Leading education reformers including Tony Miller, Rudy Crew, and Paul Vallis converge on evidence-based strategies to close achievement gaps in large urban districts where 46% of fourth-graders currently read below basic levels. These experts advocate for structural overhauls involving performance-based pay, extended instructional time, and the elimination of seniority-driven hiring to replace the current system that relies heavily on punitive accountability and fragmented leadership. The dialogue further identifies state funding as a critical barrier and proposes federal quid pro quo models that condition financial support on immediate, measurable improvements in literacy and math standards.
