California's Education Reform: Lessons From The Last 10 Years - a podcast by Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University

This fall, education policy researchers released Getting Down to Facts II [http://gettingdowntofacts.com], a major report on preK-12 education in California. The findings reveal that reforms adopted since the original report was released in 2007 have put California on the right track, but funding challenges and student achievement gaps remain. Susanna Loeb [https://news.brown.edu/articles/2017/08/loeb], director of the Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University [http://www.annenberginstitute.org] and the report's principal investigator, joined Susan Moffitt [https://watson.brown.edu/public-policy/people/faculty/susan-moffitt], director of the Taubman Center for American Politics and Policy [https://watson.brown.edu/taubman], to discuss what the findings mean for California, and what other states might learn from them.
